Student ProfileSally–Ann Harris, Flower Arranging

I enrolled on this course, purely for fun. I work in education, but wanted to learn a new skill and be able to make my own bespoke gifts. This is the second flower arranging course I have done. The group is extremely friendly and we all enjoy the social side of the course as well as learning new skills.

Qualifications• Advanced Apprenticeship in Painting & Decorating• PGCE • Advanced City & Guilds Painting & Decorating Certificate• Licentiateship Certificate of City & Guilds Building.

Experience• 12 years of teaching at Shrewsbury College• National Secretary for Association of Painting Craft

teachers (seven years)• Previous Guinness World Record holder for the

fastest wallpapering • Decorated on ITV’s 60 Minute Makeover• Decorated on BBC’s DIY SOS: Veteran special• Selected to paint at Buckingham Palace

Barry says…I wanted to become a teacher due to the influence and enthusiasm from the tutors at Shrewsbury College during my Apprenticeship, and the people who trained me on construction sites.

The best part about teaching is to see how people’s lives and opportunities can dramatically change – we see this a lot particularly as a result of national competitions. It’s also great fun, and extremely rewarding.

The College is a great social environment for students to work with like-minded, creative and skilled people.
