Thursday evening 23rd June 2011, saw the Hillsborough Collage Art and Design students open evening and end of year exhibition marking the end of GCE,s and the start for many of University.
Holding the exhibition in the sports Hall has always ment that the full extent of their work cannot be displayed, however what was on show gave a good flavour not only of work carried out but intimations of things to come.
A large percentage of students had been accepted for university across the country which speaks well for Sheffield, but the high light was the fashion and design show with models parading students designs in a series of floor shows.
A well presented and executed show bringing credit to the staff and organisers which went without any apparent hitch.
Helped backstage by the students the models performed smoothly to display the students work effectively with a range from modern to cool to sophisticated in a range of materials.
The palatable relief from the students at the end was all to evident from the almighty roar emanating back stage which was justified and well deserved.
Look forward to next year

John Martin at the Millenium
The studio attended the new Millennium Gallery exhibition in Sheffield last night for the John Martin Exhibition Painting the Apocalypse"
Martin 1789-1854 was a very underestimated painter and not regarded by the establishment yet was very popular with the public.
He is described as a Romantic engraver and illustrator whose huge paintings depicting
apocalyptic visions of passages from the Bible may not be to every ones taste but it cannot be denied that the massive scale of the depictions are matched by the massive scale of the canvas, yet his small works have the same atmospheric perspective and detail giving an impression that it is actually a huge canvas which has been squeezed and condensed.
This exhibition far exceeds expectations with over 80 pieces of artwork on display from the massive oils to finely detailed prints it is an exhibition which cannot fail to be held in awe both in the size of the artwork, its presentation and content.
An extra bonus is that the exhibition is free to enter and will be in Sheffield until 4th September when it moves to Tate Britain.
This is a must see exhibition which the author will be revisiting.
