On the 21/01/2015 I have presented a presentation to 4
teaching staff, along with other students who have chosen the live project:
Birley Fields Commission.
During the presentation, I was very nervous, because it was
the first formal presentation that I had to do in front of an audience.
Budget - £1500
Samples and Digital Prints
Final Piece
Total
Working piece
Digital print 8 feet
£23
Silk £10.35 per metre
2.5 metres needed
£26
+ oversized embroidery
hoops x 11
£100
Total £149
Final piece
£5 per 2 feet print
+ 10.35 per metre fabric
+ oversized embroidery
hoops x 11
Size can be determined by
client
One of the things that could be improved in this project was
the budget, for I missed out the budget for installing my piece in the space
and the oversized embroidery hoops’ measurements. I did not think about the
embroidery pieces as individuals and did not cost them out accordingly.
Therefore my costing is likely to be higher than this. I have enough space left in the budget to
accommodate this.

Also from this experience I learned to create minimised
samples of the hanging piece, for it would be good to let my clients to see and
feel the textures of my work. This
helps the client to see a realistic impression of the work.
Overall I think I will need to prepare a script to enable me
to help calm my nerves. I would also
consider bringing an additional copy of the blog on a USB drive in case the
venue does not have internet access.
The next time I present I will feel more confident and will
use the experience to help me prepare for future clients.
