The Arts Society Henley rewards local talent
Each year members of The Arts Society Henley are delighted to congratulate the ‘Star Student’ winners of our A level Art Award and to see their work.
We select one or two of the very best pieces from the end-of-year A level shows at Henley College, The Piggott School and Shiplake College for this award. This time the standard of work was incredibly high, and the judges had a real struggle to restrict their selection to just two pieces of art from each school. They chose six exceptional and diverse works of art. The creations also show a real variety in the media used by the students: textile, ceramics, oil paint, acrylic and porcelain, gouache and collage.
This year our winners are Aelenor Berry with ‘Burning Love’, an Elvis inspired white denim cape with appliqué and machine embroidery and Laaiba Rajas with ‘Dying to Live’, a textile wedding bag with machine embroidered tea bag covers, from Henley College;
Amber Harrison with ‘Sea Creature’, ceramic with low fired glazes and Shaden Bakayoko with ‘Self Portrait’, gouache and collage, from The Piggott School;
Rudi O’Keeffe with ‘The Flock’, oil paint and Freddie Carlsson with ‘Fragile Seabirds’, oil paint, acrylic and porcelain, from Shiplake College.
