Art and Textile Day

Canterbury High School Year 9 and Year 10 students were invited to attend a pilot Art and Textile day run by Christ Church University. The trip provided an excellent opportunity for our students to experience a taste of university life, visit a gallery and participate in an Art & Textile session working with a professional artist.

Throughout the day the students were fantastic ambassadors for our school, engaging in all the activities and producing high quality artwork.

The students enjoyed their afternoon at the Sidney Cooper Centre visiting the Christ Church University Graduate Art exhibition and then working with local artist Ruth McDonald in a Lino and Silkscreen printing workshop.
