Creatives in Residence Private View

On Tuesday 14th April we were delighted to of hosted the Private View for our Creatives in Residence Illustrator Hannah Rees, Contemporary Jewellery Designer Elizabeth Terzza and Aerial Dancer Gillian Hipp.

Gillian performed ‘The Celtic 5th Element’ (Image above by Sean Crawford) with a group of Performing Arts students. The performance was inspired by a 6th Century Herefordian Folk Tale about King Peibo Clafrog and Princess Efrddyl, mother to St.Dubricius which is developed to the original music composed by Leo More. Photographs taken by Fda Commercial Photography student Danielle Sowter and BA(Hons) Photography student Sophie Green of the performance are on display for the exhibition.

Hannah is exhibiting pages from a children’s book she has been working on and illustrating throughout her time as a creative at HCA, along with an image of the Bandomobile- a contraption which features largely in the book.

Elizabeth is exhibiting her statement jewellery which has been made with recycled silver and found objects. Each piece of Elizabeth  jewellery is designed and individually hand-crafted and she surrounds herself with botanical treasures found while walking through woodlands and forests. She is forever collecting and taking note of her rural surroundings, exploring, designing and creating.

The exhibition is located at Hereford College of Arts, Folly Lane, Hereford HR1 1LT available to view Monday to Friday, 9:30am -4:40pm and will be on until the 22nd May 2015.
