TRAC Xmas Craft Stall Event


Hello, my name is Nicole Roughley! I am a former Art and Photography student at Thomas Rotherham College who came in to help on the Christmas Art Stall today. I am grateful to have been invited to help set up and manage the Christmas Craft Stall Event. With help from Ally Boldan, we laid out the range of festive products available in the courtyard, including beautiful gift tags, Christmas cards and chalkboard baubles. The work of other students were also displayed and available for sale. All gifts and products were designed and produced by staff and students from the Art Department. It was a successful event as £90 was raised for the college (half of which will be donated to the college charity), thanks to the following students; Bushra Madmood, Lauren Holroyd, Maddie Noble, James Mellor and Alex Hall who ran the stall with me.

It felt really inspiring to be involved in this event, as my own work was appreciated and bought by staff and students, which builds your confidence towards the work you have produced on the course. I would advise more students to get involved in either creating designs to sell; setting up craft stalls; or managing the stalls because it was a wonderful experience.





Due to the success of this event, we are planning on doing upcoming craft stalls for occasions such as Valentine’s Day. So don’t miss out! There are still cards and gifts to be bought in the library if you were not able to come and have a look today! :)
