🎨 Today we were delighted to welcome back alumni and Sam Barrett to run talks and workshops with each Major group!

Sam spoke about his artist journey including the various fantastic work opportunities and experiences he’s had during his time at and after, including his course at University and with Aardman Animations.

He also set all students a challenge before his visit to draw a colourful character pose which is one of his specialities. Everyone had lots of fun re-enacting the poses and getting valuable feedback on their work - thank you Sam for running great sessions! 👏

🎨 Introducing our Production Design Company Day Group.

Production Design work on creating backstage designs like set, costume and props. Some props they have made are cars and microphones for O-TV3. They work on making costumes for the performers using mannequins for different themes. Some of the sets they have designed are time travel backdrops for Groove Machine, restaurants and theme parks on a green screen. They use pictures that they have taken to give them the inspiration.

Check out their work on our upcoming O-TV3!
