Students from our Level 3 Art & Design course recently had the chance to take part in Saltaire Makers Fair, during Saltaire Arts Trail, which is a popular arts event ran over May bank holiday each year by Saltaire Inspired.

This has been a fantastic opportunity for the students, gaining experience of running their own stall and selling their work alongside 65 professional artists and makers. The students had a hand in all aspects of the event, from creating work to sell, packaging and planning the best way to present their work, setting up their stall, handling sales and speaking to visitors. 

Showcasing an impressive standard of work, from printmaking and painting to ceramics and crochet, the group made just under £1000 worth of sales which is an incredible achievement! The College received some brilliant feedback about the students involvement, complimenting the quality of their creations and work ethic, and we have been lucky enough to be invited to take part again next year!

Well done to all of the students and staff involved in the event, and thank you to Saltaire Inspired for providing such a great opportunity.
