Day of the Dead

Jobs well campus celebrated day of the dead yesterday with an Iron pour. In addition to this there were all sorts of activities, stalls and promotions running. The sculpture department held the bake sale i previously mentioned to help raise money for next years exhibition. Minus costs i think we managed to raise about £100 which was a great kick off!! As well as the celebrations for day of the dead, we also had an open day, where colleges, schools and foundation students where invited to come and have a look around and try out some of the activities that would be on offer with a BA at Jobs well. I was asked by my lecturer Robert Harding to join the class and help him with the activities. It was a great opportunity to have a bit of teaching experience, as it's always been a job i'd considered for myself. Robert approached me at the end of the day and seemed to be very happy with my efforts with the other students. I've decided to apply to my previous school and see if they would be interested in offering me some work experience. As well as helping to guide the other students, i got stuck in myself and made a little scratch mould and a wire skull which you can see below. All in all, a great experience for everyone involved!

Sculpture Exhibition

As a part of my course, as a group we have to organise an exhibition of our work. We are currently looking for spaces to exhibit as well as sponsors. I've been a part of a small end of year show with Coleg Sir Gar in 2012.. This exhibition is really exiting for me. It's really made me think about my future and i can't wait to get stuck in. I've put myself forward to promote the event and produce advertising material. We are going to be holding a bake sale at a 'Day of the dead' Iron pour evening held at the college to raise funds for our exhibition. I'm looking forward to working with the rest of the sculptors, many of them seem to be quite enthusiastic. It's also quite interesting to be working with some already established artists and people who have put on shows previously, i feel like i will learn a lot!
