The creative students of Epping Forest College showed off the fruits of their labour in an art and design exhibition.

Running from June 18 to 22, the work of media students, painters, aspiring architects and musicians was displayed and played at the Borders Lane institution

The event was attended by Stephan Murray, Town Mayor of Loughton, as well as family, friends and other invited guests.

The work came out of the college's photography, ceramics, fine art and 3D design departments.

Highlights included a horror film prosthetic installation and film by Stevie Donoghue titled 'Disfigured Mind', a jewellery and body adornment project based on the legends of mermaids by Scarlet-Rose Thompson and Matthew Teh's architectual exploration of the ecological and ethical issues of Rio de Janeiro favelas.

A stunning mural previously on display in Loughtons Murray Hall, produced by the Level 1 learners, took centre stage as well as an extensive range of experimental photography work by the A Level and UAL Level 3 students.

There are still places for school leavers to study art and design, media, music and performing arts at the college from September, as well as a range of part time classes for adults.
