IT'S PARADE WEEK!
Today we have had some brilliant digital media students from @peter_symonds_college in the building doing work experience in a real community arts centre. Some of the students are also studying videography, graphics, art, costume and makeup and health and social care ...alongside media, so we have put their skills to good use, using marketing tools like @canva and @mailchimp to help create campaigns.
Another group worked through our costume store to organise things for the parade and future productions and another group have been designing and creating large scale puppets for Friday's @bstokefestival parade!!!
This project has been put together by @scratchbuiltproductions @y.b.creative with support from Proteus @aceagrams
