A huge well done to our talented Year 9 textiles students, who spent two inspiring days at Penlee House!

During their visit, students discovered the wide range of careers within the industry, learning about the roles of Gallery Assistants, Curators and Collections Managers. They also explored their fascinating historic Crysede collection, discovering the important impact the industry had on the local area.

After gaining inspiration from the gallery, students began developing their own print designs in the style of Crysede. On the second day, they carefully cut their own lino blocks before printing their designs onto fabric and bags.

The results were fantastic, with students producing some incredibly high-quality and creative work. We are so proud of their enthusiasm, creativity and the amazing outcomes from this wonderful opportunity!

Our students work will be on display in the gallery over the coming weeks so be sure to visit!
