Students from last year’s group attended the launch of the ‘We Face Forward’ exhibition at the beginning of June, having an opportunity to meet the artists, revel in the atmosphere, and finally see the exhibits they had been eagerly anticipating.
The new group have already begun their preparations by interviewing Michael Whitworth, in charge of the retail shop business across the Art Galleries, seeking his expert advice on product placement.
They also had an opportunity to reflect on David Hockney’s 'A Rake’s Progress' exhibition which inspired them to create images using different printing techniques, guided by local artist and textile maker, Seleena Daye.
