Pupils working with Alistair Guy
As part of an ongoing programme of practitioner workshops, Year 12 pupils worked with professional photographer Alistair Guy on portraiture, making the most of the early sunshine as well as the Towner Gallery mural ‘Dance Diagonal’.
Textiles
At the beginning of the year, fashion and textiles pupils arrived from Hetzendorf Fashion Institute in Austria as part of the textiles biennial exchange programme. Unfortunately we were unable to return in March due to the lockdown but we will be visiting them as soon as it is safe to do so. Sixth form textiles pupils were involved in Glad Rags, a charity event for St Wilfrid’s. This included modelling a photo shoot and filming for the event. The evening was a great success and raised over £7,500. Local textiles artist and member of the 62 Group, Christine Chester, delivered a screen-printing workshop.
