Art in the Garden

Sat 19 May @ 12:00 pm – 7:00 pm

 

The Calthorpe Project inner city community garden and centre exists to improve the physical and emotional well-being of those who live, work or study in Camden and surrounding areas. As part of the Chelsea Fringe, they  hosted Art in the Garden and the Working Mens College was involved. Ceramics students donated work which was sold to raise funds for the project by ceramics learners Peter Buck, Helen McCormack and Sophia Staves. Jo Aylmer, Ceramics Tutor, ran a air drying clay workshop. Visitors made hanging decorations, small pots and even a clay burrito!

Helen Hammond, Principal of WMC-The Camden College, said: “I was very impressed at the high level of work the learners have produced for their end of year show. The cross collaboration between the art and hair & beauty learners for the catwalk show was great to see.

“Deciding on an overall winner for the Principals and Governors prize certainly was a difficult choice to make but the chosen ones stood out for us as judges. All the pieces in the show were fantastic.

“I want to congratulate and wish all our learners the very best of luck in their next steps, whether that is university, employment or further training and to thank them for choosing WMC-The Camden College as the college to further their education.”
