St Martins's MA work in Progress exhibition

St Martins' MA students showed their work in progress this week at Shoreditch town hall to a packed crowd on its opening night, unfortunately as with opening nights it is difficult to view all the work so I had intended to make a return which didn't happen but these are a sample of the work that stood out. A student mixing digital and craft to great effect and some wonderful illustration projects. I'm looking forward to the end of year exhibition already!
