TRCreative - Prints for Sale!


The TRCreative Enterprise project was launched in 2011 when students at Thomas Rotherham College secured funding to set up their own business in order to raise funds for their Art Department and a local Charity. In the first year students created their own black and white Drypoint prints inspired by beautiful places in South Yorkshire, these were sold as Original prints, digital prints, postcards and notecards.

In 2012 students were inspired by portraiture and focussed their images on the people of South Yorkshire, this year students have again been inspired by the beautiful places in Yorkshire, but have interpreted them using Lino for the first time, and experimenting with colour. From Scarborough Lighthouse to the Cheesegrater building in Sheffield, the students have produced a wide range of images. Each student has donated their best print to the project and the original has been framed ready to buy.  We have also made an edition of 4 digital prints of each image which are signed by the students and available framed or unframed. This year’s logo was designed by Heather Ward, one of our current students.

This year we will be supporting the Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, half of all profits from items sold will go towards the charity.

All the prints are now on display outside the Principal office and are available to buy, along with some other products;
