Ely Students at Great British Sewing Bee Live!

TALENTED Fashion and Textiles students from King’s Ely have been invited to  exhibit their work at this year’s Great British Sewing Bee Live. Yet another example of the rich and diverse  talent in our choir schools!

Around a dozen A Level Fashion and Textiles students will be showcasing their flamboyant garment designs and accessories at the eagerly-anticipated event, which is being held at ExCeL London from September 21^st to 24^th.

Director of Art at King’s Ely Senior, Alison Rhodes, is understandably excited. She said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for our students and is a valuable experience that contributes to their future employment. The invitation to exhibit at the event has come as a result of our exhibition at Alexandra Palace and promises to provide a wealth of valuable contacts. The event also incorporates lectures and workshops, alongside catwalk shows, and our exhibition stand will display current fashion design work.”

The following week, Art and Design students from King’s Ely Senior will be showcasing their work at The Apex in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The exhibition is running at the gallery, based in Charter Square, from September 26^th through to October 19^th. It will be open daily from 10am-4pm and admission is free.
