29 February 2012 - SCOLA’s 40th Anniversary Exhibition of Arts & Crafts
SCOLA’s 40th Anniversary Exhibition of Arts and Crafts commenced on 20th February and ends on 2nd March. The exhibition is being held in the Europa Gallery at the Sutton Central Library, St. Nicholas Way, Sutton, SM1 1EA.
If you have the opportunity to visit and see the wonderful variety of products in different disciplines that has been produced by SCOLA students you will no doubt be delighted by what you see. The work has been created by some very experienced students, as well as relatively new students. What is evident is how each person set themselves a personal challenge and how they took on enormous pride in achieving their goal. When talking to students their pride in their work shines through! A big thank you to Geoff Kenward (Programme Manager, Creative Studies – Arts & Crafts), Angela Williams (Senior Lecturer, Creative Studies – Arts & Crafts), who together with their amazing tutors and some volunteers worked tirelessly to put the exhibition together. Thank you also to Natalie Gray (Marketing & Creative Studies Assistant) for putting together the catalogue and to our partners in the Sutton Library who support the College in so many different ways. The Leader of the Sutton Council, Cllr Sean Brennan, opened the exhibition and it was great to see so many present at the opening!
Well done to all involved who made this exhibition possible and congratulations to the students for sharing your creativity with us!
