Ryde High School – Dimbola Exhibition

Ryde High School photographic work

In the last school year Ryde High used Ryde Cemetery as part of their study work for A-Level photography. Their photographs were displayed in the North Chapel during the Activity and Open Day in July.

The creative works have now been completed and the students are displaying their final portfolio at Dimbola Lodge Photographic Museum from 12 October to 9 November 2008. Dimbola Lodge Museum is situated in Terrace Lane, close to Freshwater Bay on the Western end of the Isle of Wight.

Entry is Free.

Exhibitors are: Jessica Ohren, Lucy Jolliffe, Oliver Morris, Oliver Grant, Grace Linington, Shauna Hoey, Kelly Downer, Christine Caffyn and Sabrina Woolley.

The students have worked really hard to put the exhibition together and most of their work has been developed and hand printed in Ryde High’s own darkrooms. The exhibition is housed in the tea rooms at Dimbola Lodge – please visit and take a look!
