The Arts Society Falmouth (TASF) has been instrumental in encouraging and recognising the skills developed by Students of Fashion Illustration at Penryn College, culminating in awards in a competition for Fashion Illustrator of the Year. The competition / course was formed to make fashion illustration resources easily accessible to young people using a variety of artistic media. The project was taken forward in collaboration with Penryn College with guidance from their enthusiastic textiles teacher.

The Unity Club - Created many crafts including a welcome sign in various languages.
