ART students have been putting the final touches to a controversial exhibition which includes a blood-soaked gown which was created by a vegan.

Other works on display at Stockton Sixth Form College include an Ascot hat of autumn leaves, a series of night-through-day paintings of the countryside, and an embroidered Harry Potter cloak.

The work, which has been submitted by 30 students for this year's A-Level art exams, will be on show tomorrow at the college until 8.30pm.

Ann Gill, head of the art department at the college said: "The students have fulfilled my expectations, and their work is truly amazing.

"It is well crafted and hugely creative."
