STUDIO PRACTICE Statement of Intent

Name Blog Address Sophie Poole

Rationale I will look more into publication because I want to be able to make my practice look more professional this year. I will also be developing my monoprint technique using the briefs I have chosen because I want to explore the process more and strengthen my skills. I will also look more into book binding because I want my briefs to have a high quality finish. I also will look into workshops and lesson planning to further my interest in educational routes.
