Wishing the wonderful Janet Holmes, creator of the Rathbone Ceramic Studio and Gallery, a long and and happy retirement. We have so many happy memories of the times we all spent making sgraffito pots, with your calm guidance to encourage us. We are looking forward to going forward with Zara, our third year students booked in for the new semester, but will miss you loads 🥰

It was so lovely for the course leader of Liverpool John Moores University BA History of Art & Museum Studies to catch up with final-year student, Leia Birchall, in Venice this last weekend! Emma, who was there to visit the Venice Biennale exhibitions, met up with Leia, as Leia is conducting a one-month internship at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. This internship is offered to two students each year and is built into our course. We are the only undergraduate course in the world to have the internship with the Guggenheim Museum!
It was also an opportunity to meet the new staff member at the museum who is our course contact. This is Alison D'Ercole, who is also pictured.
As Leia's internship coincides with the Venice Biennale, which happens every two years, she is bound to have the most amazing month in Venice!
