Well, Week 3 is up and running. It was great to see the group hard at work in the studio yesterday working on your postcards during my quick trip to sort out the administrative and timetable confusions that seem to be dogging us in regards to the use of the Letterpress Studio. You may not realise it but this is actually linked to the excursion I spoke to you about in the introductory session in Week 1. "What happened?", I can hear you saying. :)
In the first instance the excursion was suggested by Katherine Moline (Course Co-ordinator) becuase of a room timetabling clash in Week 5. We'd responded by finding an option for excursions to Fairfax Printers out in South Western Sydney. Until yesterday we though this would be possible albeit on another day in Week 5.
As you realise the timetable clash suddenly manifested itself yesterday - in Week 3. I know - don't ask me why!
Thanks to Wing's quick negotiation you were able to work in the studio yesterday but next week there will be no studio.
After discussing the matter with the Head of Design Studies, Liz Williamson it was decided that the best solution would be to run a make-up class in the COFA Study Week (Monday 18 April) at the usual time. We've therefore made sure you get exactly the same amount of time in the studio to work on your Letterpress Postcards.
So, I know the disappointment is that there won't be an excursion - but the reality is there usually isn't one in the course anyways - there is simply so much to do!

Ok as usual there is a Self-Directed Research Task this week - this one is about getting prepared for producing your Postcard. Lucky you - there is an extra week now for this task!!
Self-Directed: Refine your selected design solution for production (printing) in the next class.
