Liz Berry and the students were delighted with this new collaboration. "The students were very surprised at the brightness of both the fixtures and learned a lot from using them in their shows," says Berry. "They were especially impressed by the Impressions as they did not expect an LED fixture to be so lightweight and powerful, and they liked the option of changing the lenses to achieve different beam sizes. I was impressed at the service from Hawthorn, who were very accommodating in giving us such great equipment. They even delivered it - And I would like to personally thank Hawthorn for their support."
Hansjörg Schmidt, programme director of the Lighting Design course at Rose Bruford, added: "I am delighted with this new and groundbreaking collaboration. We always welcome an opportunity to work closely with exciting suppliers and lighting designers, to provide our students with a practical understanding of using the latest technology and it potential usage. Which in turn ensures that our graduates are in a position to push the industry forward when they start employment"
