Supporting Local GCSE and A Level Art Students 2023
The annual presentation of Awards to GCSE and A Level students from The Sandwich Technology School and Sir Roger Manwoods School took place on Monday October 2nd. We were delighted that the Mayor of Sandwich, Councillor Paul Carter, presented the prizes and certificates. Members, student artists and families admired the display of their work which included textiles, prints, paintings and sculptures. Their creativity, imagination and skill was admired by all who attended. Congratulation to all the artists!
Sandwich Infants School 2023
On 14th March we were again delighted to be invited to judge the All School Annual Art exhibition at Sandwich Infants School. This is the fifth year we have been involved and we were not disappointed. Committee members, Mirahny Manning, Christine Ratcliffe, and Cally Vaile were joined by member Barbara Wiggins and we had the joyous, but very difficult task of choosing the six ‘winners’. The subject was Animals which resulted in a range of expressive and creative paintings. All the participants should be congratulated on their work, as should the teaching staff who guided the pupils. The winners were presented with certificates, and their achievement will be acknowledged at the school assembly.
Supporting Local GCSE and A Level Art Students 2022
Once again we had the privilege of supporting GCSE and A Level art students at Sandwich Technology School and Sir Roger Manwood’s School. The art included photography, paintings, sculpture, batik and printing. The standard of art at both schools is very high as demonstrated at both the schools annual exhibitions.
This made selecting prize winners a difficult task. The prizes included the Most Promising Student, the Arts Society Sandwich. The Mayor of Sandwich also donated a prize..
We appreciate the warm welcome from both schools.
Sandwich Infants School 2022
In April we were delighted to be invited, for the fourth time, to judge the All School Annual Art exhibition at Sandwich Infants School. Committee members, Mirahny Manning, Christine Ratcliffe and Cally Vaile had the joyous, but very difficult task of choosing the six ‘winners’.
The subject was Self Portraits which resulted in a range of expressive and creative paintings. All the participants should be congratulated on their work, as should the teaching staff who guided the pupils. There was a very high standard of work from children aged 4 to 8 years old. The winners were presented with certificates, and their achievement acknowledged at the school assembly.
The portrait paintings will be on display during Sandwich Arts Week at St Mary’s Church. (September 17-24th).
AWARDS FOR ART STUDENTS 2021
We are delighted to share the success of art students from Sandwich Technology school (STC) and Sir Roger Manwoods School (SRMS). A new award, ‘the Most Promising Art Student’ was chosen by the Heads of Art. The four winners included: Renn Hales (GCSE AT STC) and Cordelia Snedden (A level at SMRS).
The annual TASS and Mayor of Sandwich prizes were awarded to six students at (SMRS). These included Lily Beaman (GCSE), Max Hannan (GCSE) and Emily Hills (GCSE).
A selection of their work was displayed at the Sandwich Arts Week exhibition. It was of the very highest standard. It was a joy to meet the students, and witness the delight in their much deserved achievements.
Sandwich Infants School 2021
Once again Sandwich Infant School invited us to judge their all school art exhibition. The judges were committee members Mirahny Manning, Christine Ratcliffe and Cally Vaile. We were warmly welcomed by Head Teacher Elisabeth Wood and Head of Art Hannah Jackson. The topic was ‘the sea’. The 126 pupils had been introduced to life under the sea, including environmental issues. We were asked to select a ‘winner’ from each year group. This was a real challenge, as all the paintings were of a very high standard, vibrant and just a delight to see. The winners were presented with a certificate, and their paintings will be displayed at St Mary’s Church during Sandwich Arts Week. ( September 18-25). Thanks to Mrs Wood for inviting us, and enabling us to play a tiny part in the artistic life of all the young painters involved.
June 2021. We had a joyous morning at the school.
