Langdon College’s Karten Centre has been working on a multigenerational collaborative painting and photography project, bringing together two of Manchester’s key charities. This partnership working has resulted in the production of a Jewish calendar which was launched on 22nd September 2019.
Students at Langdon College, who work within the LC-Print enterprise business, residents of the Feds’s Heathlands Village care home had taken part in joint art sessions over recent months. Together they created original artwork and imagery based on a monthly theme, many of which reflect Jewish festivals and celebrations.
Langdon College tutor, Rebecca Holmes said, “The students have worked incredibly hard behind the scenes. Through their teamwork and efforts, they also enhanced many of their interpersonal skills, such as communication and organisational ability.”
At a joyful launch event which took place at Heathlands Village, in the presence of Trevor Holt Mayor of Bury, the calendars were presented for sale to the public for the first time, by students and residents. Rebecca continued “from creating the artwork together to the students printing and binding the calendars – it has been a huge success.”
The calendars are priced at £7 and are available to purchase from either Heathlands Village Shop or Langdon College and the proceeds will be split between the charities.
Alternatively, you can e-mail lc-print@langdoncollege.ac.uk to order your calendar.
