Wow Gorilla! Students meet artist Laura Cramer




Local painter Laura Cramer was visited today by a bunch of our first year students. She is currently painting on a big gorilla at Bristol's Radisson Blu Hotel as part of Bristol Zoos 'Wow Gorilla' birthday celebrations.
Laura is painting local scenes and organic imagery onto her gorilla in a celebration of all things Bristol and natural. This project is set to celebrate the zoos 175th birthday and highlight the plight of gorillas possible extinction. These Gorillas will be unveiled in a parade around Bristol on the 4th of July and then placed in various locations locally.
A big thank you to Laura who not only took the time to explain her working process and route to success to our students but managed to motivate and inspire them- Thank you!
