Art students in the South West have been making an impression alongside a professional exhibition at their college.

Learners at Stroud School of Art, based at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College, have created an installation that shows off their printmaking skills. It coincides with the National Contemporary Print Exhibition at the college that showcases local and national printmakers.

Foundation diploma in art and design student Mila Harris-Mussi, 18, from Stroud, said: “The display looks fantastic. It has been a great experience to have been involved.”

The installation is a joint project made up of work created by students working at all levels in the college, including full–time and part–time learners.

Mila’s classmate Sophie Clifford, 19 and also from Stroud, said: “Seeing our artwork on such a spectacular display in the best thing ever. It’s great to see all the finished artwork together.”
