Perry Harris, well-known in Bath and beyond for his cartoons, sketches and watercolours, has worked as a member of the Estates Team at the Royal High School for over 20 years, and lives within the grounds of the Senior School.
During the run up to last November’s exhibition of Perry’s work ‘20 Years of Art, Work’ held as part of our celebrations of 20 years of the Royal High School following the joining of Bath High and the Royal School in 1998, we were delighted to give access to a small group of filmmaking students from Bath Spa University. The group had asked Perry if they could make a documentary about him against the backdrop of the exhibition and the school’s 20th anniversary celebrations, exploring how his two worlds of art and work combine.
I am delighted to share with you below the initial fruits of their labours (a longer version is due to follow):Copies of
