Concept Week! | 2019

Last week we ran our annual 'concept week' for our first year students, where a handful of our lovely second years volunteer to talk to the classes explaining their work and concepts. These presentations were around 5-10 minutes long, allowing our volunteers to briefly explain how they interpreted the initial theme, what artists had inspired them, what their concept is and how they have explored that visually. This is great for our first year students who are going to be developing their own concepts in the next few weeks, as it gives them the chance to understand how varied and personal your concept can be, how they are evolve throughout your project and how this then creates a unique body of work.

Thank you to all our volunteers for this!

Sheffield Print Fair 2019 | TRAC

This year we were once again lucky enough to be accepted for a stall at this years Sheffield Print Fair at St Mary's Church. The fair ran from 10am-4pm and saw stalls from 42 artists and galleries from across the region come together for a lovely day of buying and selling. This year was the 7th annual Print Fair run by James Green and Suzi Thompson. 

We had a really successful day selling products from TRAC and chatting to all the visitors that came and looked at our stall. It is really wonderful to see how many people are eager to support the department and the colleges chosen charity, even if it's just with a card or a badge. Speaking of which, the badge maker was a huge success! So many people drew their own badges and made them on the badge maker, which was particularly a hit with the young children that came to the fair! Definitely a good investment for the department!

Later on in the day we were joined by Brad, Jess, Amelia and Emily who did a fantastic job manning the stall, and also got the chance to look round at all the work on show as well as have a chat with James and Suzi. Thank you so much for coming folks! 

All in all we had a really fantastic day, and managed to make £111 all together! Profits will be split between the department and the colleges nominated charity.
