Art department trip to Unit 12

Have you ever wondered what an artist does? Where they get their inspiration?
That’s exactly what MHS GCSE and A Level Art students were wondering about the artist Jennifer Collier and they went on a trip to her gallery, Unit 12 in Staffordshire to find out.
On the day students met Jennifer Collier and found out what it’s like to be a professional artist.
Jennifer makes amazing textile and craft pieces, using plastic, paper and fabric to create waxed paper to turn into things like lampshades and shoes.
Our Art students had a go at wax trapping and each produced a beautiful sketchbook and pair of shoes. All of the work will be submitted with their final coursework and exam projects.
All in all it was a brilliant day. Not only did the students walk away with a new set of acquired art skills but Miss Garnett and Miss Jones did too! Look out for a wax paper shoe project coming our way soon!
