The Show’s a Winner!

The Art, Design and Media Department put on another stunning End Of Year Show, covering displays of work from students in their first year here straight from school to those completing their BA (Hons) degree.

The Private View on Thursday June 23 saw hundreds of visitors pass through the doors enjoying the displays, including Mrs Cynthia Gresham, the Town Mayor of Dunstable, who also happens to be a floristry student here. A real buzz was created by the attendance of Faye Tozer, who chatted to students and showed a genuine interest in their work. The proceedings culminated with the presentation of several awards:
