Degree Show...

1 W E E K   T O   G O !!

With one week to go until the Degree Show, we just wanted to say a huge good luck to all third years! Try not to get too stressed during set up, it will all look fabulous and we can't wait to see it. 

A bit of advice...

Do not leave your brand new backpack anywhere near Nigel Hurlstone when he has hold of a paint brush and white paint.

Don't worry too much if it doesn't look exactly how you imagined it. The staff all know what they're doing and putting together a fab show is their priority. And it always looks amazing, so don't panic.

Help each other out during set up! Emotions run high around this time, so share spirit levels/pins/tape/5 mins to go for a tea break. Be sympathetic if anything goes wrong, it's not every man for himself... 

Be kind to the staff. They care just as much as you all do and are under just as much pressure. Thank them!! 

Be present!! Be around as much as possible when the show is up. You never know who might be looking at your work.

Business cards!! Don't put them all out straight away, because school children will take them.

Be professional, that means no bitching... you don't know who might overhear. Also this extends to family members... there's nothing worse than your grandma/dad/loved one saying "ooo that's shit, I could've done that!" about someone's work when they're stood behind you...

Enjoy the PV and absolutely make the most of the free wine!! 

Have the best time. Chill out. This is time to celebrate the last 3 bloody difficult years being over. Be proud of yourselves, you've earned it!! 

Take lots of photos. It flies by so quickly, you'll blink and it will be over. 

Love,
