Saturday 29 May 2010 is GATE Visual Arts Open Day. Everyone is welcome to come along and see the students hard at work from 9.30 to 12 noon.

Art Camp 2010

GATE Visual Art camp was held in March at Bickley and was packed with creative adventures. On the first evening students used special effects makeup to create horrible flesh wounds. The ghastly creations were then staged and photographed by ex-student David Collins. Atmosphere was added using a smoke machine and lighting. In addition to this students drew a life model, sculpted clay heads, depicted landscapes in collage, bound and wove fibres from the natural environment and ate seemingly endless servings of cake. I give many thanks to the students and tutors who made this the camp a huge success.
