Honiton Town Council and THG have revealed a new art installation at the Beehive in Honiton
Year 10 students at Honiton Community College created the artworks during THG workshops with graphic artist, George Barron, this summer.
Honiton Town Council invited the students to showcase the wide range of activities on offer in Honiton from boxing to tennis, archery to pottery, and of course art. There were many more than the students first imagined!
THG commissioned George Barron, an expert printmaker based at Positive Lights in Exeter, to work with the students. George encouraged them to experiment with different print processes. The students learnt new skills including letter press, monoprint and screen printing to produce a set of multi-coloured, graphic collages.
The new installation has been created in a collaboration between THG and Honiton Town Council. It has been funded by Honiton Town Council through the street art fund and THG’s Create Our Space project which aims to inspire local young people to engage in creative experiences.
