Heading into a part of London I had never been to, with a group of people I had never met before seemed daunting.
But as a group of textiles students walking through Soho, the numerous fabric shops and a shared love of anything textiles made it much easier for us to get to know one another.
As an Irish girl, new to London, I thought this project was such an amazing way to both see London and also get to know others from my course.
What with Chinatown, Covent Garden and the centre of Soho itself, the area I was given was such an interesting place to observe and draw. I found even simply sitting and sketching passersby worthwhile as London is filled with such amazingly unique people.
After filling an entire sketchpad with drawings, sketches and photos from Soho, and compiling an entire Rough Guide of London, the book I brought away is something I’ll keep forever, such a nice way to look back and remember my first week in Chelsea School of Art.
