Addams Family Musical | College Production 2018

Here in art we love a college production! And like to get involved with performing arts to help in any way we can. This year was The Addams Family Musical, so we decided to create an edition of unique darkroom prints (following the success of last years Les Mis screen prints) and programmes to sell as keepsakes during the evenings of the production. One of our lovely A2 photography students Ally Boldan volunteered to take headshots of each cast member and edited them for us ready to use on our print design. Once we had this printed out on an acetate, we opened it up to any students who wanted to have a go creating an exciting print for us in the darkroom (thank you Chloe Porter for doing some of these for us!).Our PGCE student Jodie and ex-student Nicole then packaged these up in frames and cello bags with a variety of mounts - including wallpaper! - and they were then all ready to be sold.

We did really well over the 3 evenings, and raised a wonderful....... £81.08 profit! £40 of this will be donated to the colleges nominated charity Teenage Cancer Trust, so thank you to all the staff who helped in selling these, and everyone who bought them. 

Well done to our 1st prize raffle winner Chrissy! We hope you enjoy the chocolates :) 
We also decided to give a second raffle prize since we had a few prints left over, so another well done to Nat who has won a mounted print of her choice!
