There is another angel in the sky and this one designed his own wings and printed them on a cushion with the fanciest tassels you’ve ever seen.

The entire CCAD Hartlepool community is devastated at the passing of Contemporary Textile Product student and Students' Union President, Gary Pearson.

Gary encapsulated everything that CCAD is about. He was the heartbeat of the place during his two and a half years with us. The impact of his loss as a student, SU President, colleague and a friend to all is immeasurable.

We were a small part of Gary’s life even though he was such a big part of ours. To show our love and respect for him, and help to celebrate his life we would like raise funds to help give Gary an amazing send off.
