Herefordshire College of Technology presented the annual Creative Crafts Exhibition on 8th and 9th July. Held at the Hereford Campus,Folly Lane, the exhibition spanned both the events suite and several additional rooms in the new building, providing a large and stunning show for all who visited.
Opening the Preview on 7th July, Ian Peake, Principal of HCT, welcomed over 100 guests including The Right Worshipful, the Mayor of Hereford, Councillor Kevin Wargen and the Mayoress.
This event showcases the outstanding work produced by students studying a range of courses including Patchwork & Quilting, Passementerie, Soft Furnishings, Embroidery, Fashion, Textile Decoration, Millinery, Furniture Making, Blacksmithing, Painting and Pottery (Headway).
Mike Green, Owner of ABC Print and a sponsor of the event commented “As we work quite closely with the College I have been aware of the new building work that has been going on, and I was a little anxious to see how they could put together a “Creative Crafts” exhibition that would do justice to the hard work of all of the students. Not only did they pull it off but they surpassed my expectations with flying colours. The work was unique and to the highest standard, created with passion and flair, and was then presented in very fitting surroundings within the wonderful new premises. Truly commendable.”
Ian Peake thanked staff and students saying “they should be very proud of their work.” He extended thanks to The Hereford Journal, ABC Print and Signs & Labels for sponsoring this very special event.
