My posts are going to be mainly talking about the preparation for the Summer Show here in Hereford and our stand at New Designers in London. For those of you who have no idea what these shows are I thought I'd give you a little degree show 101.
The Summer Show is what we have been working toward for the last three years, it is our way of showcasing our work to the world. The show is an exhibition which all of the HE courses at Hereford College of Arts take part in. The work we create for the summer show is assessed as the major part of our final module. Students and staff are all involved in getting the show ready which I have been warned will mainly involve gallons of white paint, frayed tempers and stubbed toes but which will result in a cohesive and exciting show.
This year it takes place at Hereford College of Arts Folly Lane Campus and is open to the public from Saturday 15th June - Wednesday 19th June. To give you an idea of what the exhibitions is like, below is a film showing last year's CAA Summer Show. Head over to HCA's youtube channel to see film's of work from all the HCA courses.
Two days after the show in Hereford closes we pack up the very full van and take the whole Craft's Cluster show down to New Designers. New Designers is an exhibition held in the Business Design Centre in London. It features stands from most of the design courses across the UK. It offers us a great opportunity to show work to a very diverse range of visitors, from gallery owners, to journalists, to buyer, to collectors and to the public. We will be exhibiting in part one which is open to the public from Thursday 27th June to Saturday 29th June.
If you get a chance please come and visit us at one of our shows, we'd love to see you and show you our work!
