Back in April two Chelsea College of Art and Design BA Graphic Design Communication alumni; Jack Featherstone and Max Parsons worked on a collaborative exhibition entitled “Template” at the Front Room Gallery in Cambridge.

The exhibition centred around a “space specific, hand painted, wall drawing which was digitally designed to the exact proportions of the room. This drawing was accompanied by three individual risograph print compositions, which played with the same scale and grid forms that were used to create the wall drawing.”

If you are interested in buying one of the limited edition prints head over to the Front Room Esty shop.

 We have now with been awarded a CSD Recognised award for our Foundation Degree (FdA) Interior Design programme.

This is the first vocational training programme to successfully gain the award from the professional body for design and the industry expert panel were particularly impressed with the strong creative focus and links with industry on project briefs.

Course leader Tomris Tangaz said “we are very pleased that our work and efforts to provide strong vocational and academic training for designers has been awarded professional body recognition and we are looking forward to working with CSD in the future”.
Tim Jennings TTSP Architecture and Design, and panel member for the Chartered Society of Designers stated “the panel were impressed with the balance of creativity, professionalism, skills and knowledge the course delivers throughout its’ 2 year programme and with such a strong vocational focus it challenges students, providing them with an excellent foundation for their future design careers”

The course, is equivalent to the first two years of a BA (Hons) programme and is primarily interested in fostering the relationship between academic study and the contemporary practice of interior design. It features live projects and industrial collaborations and provides strong technical, personal and aspirational skills.

Janey Sharratt   ‘Pots of Colour’
Exhibition:  18th April – 5th May
Private View:  Wednesday 18th April   6-9pm
(Janey Sharratt will be exhibiting with Patrick Smith)

Peter Stickland wrote this about Janey’s work:
“An age spent directing paint to play upon canvas, hours in ecstasy over the pigment
and the texture, spells just scratching and scoring the surface; then a stretch of time
frittered,finding names for pots.
She’ll remove the paint to make the subject clear then she’ll add a few layers for the
same reason.
She’ll remove the paint to increase the ambiguity then she’ll add a few layers for a
similar motive.
Gradations of tones obscure sharp edges, inviting dance in the mind’s eye by
tantalizing suggestion…”

Peter Stickland

We are delighted to have Janey Sharratt showing at the gallery two years after her first
successful show with us. The unique character of these soft, gentle landscapes and of the
ethereal floating still lifework, is hugely appealing.
