Meet Jess Colley, our HNC/D Graphic Design Course Leader, HNC/D Fashion Course Tutor and HE Curriculum Lead here at GC. 🎨✨

As part of our upcoming exhibition called 'For Demonstration Purposes' running 11-17 July at Bristol School of Art , Jess is showcasing two brilliant pieces that reflect the breadth and depth of her creative practice, and both tell a story about the power of experimentation.

The first is a hand-made T-shirt created live during a workshop with HNC Fashion students, inspired by the rebellious spirit of Vivienne Westwood. Using stencils, paint, tape, and found paper, Jess produced the piece quickly and instinctively, modelling a freer, more spontaneous approach to design. The slogan? "Punk is a Way of Life." 🖤

The second is a stunning digital collage series created in Adobe Photoshop that explores the relationship between wildlife and environments increasingly shaped by human activity. Bold colour, layered textures and graphic forms combine to create visually striking images that invite reflection on the fragile relationship between the natural world and human presence. 🦜🌿

This is exactly what makes our lecturers so great, they don't just teach creativity, they live it.

Come and see Jess's work in person at our exhibition, 11-17 July. We can't wait to share it with you! 🌟

We are so proud of Thomas! 🍽️✨

Our Level 2 Professional Cookery student, Thomas, recently represented Gloucestershire College at the CombiGuru UK Challenge at UNOX HQ in Venice, Italy, competing against students from 14 colleges across the UK and placing an incredible 4th place! 🌟

After making it through the first round, Thomas and his lecturer, Renark, were flown out to Venice for the finals, where students had just 90 minutes to create a two-course meal using a pantry of ingredients, plus some mystery ingredients revealed on the day! Thomas showed real creativity, working sage and peas into his main course to impress the judges. 👨‍🍳

To top it all off, the students were treated to a tour of Venice on the final day, taking in St Mark's Square and a cookery session with Dreamboat Venice in a beautiful square in the heart of the city. What an experience! 🇮🇹

Check out some of the amazing photos from his trip, and well done, Thomas! We couldn't be prouder! 👏

Huge thanks to Unox for supporting the next generation of culinary professionals.

🙏 Thank you Connected Kerb for delivering a brilliant hands-on EV charging workshop for our engineering students!

It was a real insight into the EV sector, from charging infrastructure and net zero goals through to how networks are designed, installed, and operated.

At the end of the day the students were tasked with designing their own EV charging solution, bringing together technical knowledge from microcontrollers programming, CAD, and electronic principles in a meaningful, applied context.

We were also proud to showcase our specialist labs and facilities, which the Connected Kerb team commented were among the strongest they had seen, alongside the depth of industry experience within our teaching team.

The student engagement was exceptional - a clear example of how industry-led learning can unlock participation and creativity.

The end of the year is here, and what a journey it's been! 🎓

As our Higher Education students wrap up their studies, we couldn't be prouder of everything they've achieved. The dedication, the late nights, the hard work - it all leads to this moment.

And what a moment it will be! We're so excited to be celebrating our incredible students at the stunning Gloucester Cathedral this year, a setting as special as the achievements we'll be recognising. ✨

To all our HE students finishing up in November, well done! You should be incredibly proud of everything you've accomplished.

We can't wait to celebrate with you!
