DESIGN students are exhibiting their degree course work in salubrious surroundings.

The work of the Cleveland College of Art and Design students will be on display at Preston Hall, Eaglescliffe until March 8.

As part of their degree studies in BA (Hons) Production Design for Stage & Screen, they have created a range of set designs, models, costumes and props which demonstrate the art of designing for stage and screen, called ‘The Art of Entertainment’.

The dramatic and flamboyant designs include an apocalyptic set London Underground, miniature scale models of stage sets for House of Cards and stage design concepts for The Importance of Being Earnest.

Andrew Glazebrook, Natasha Gass and James Morris are just three of the students who worked on the ‘Gluttony’ installation at the Museum, as well as exhibiting other works of their own creation.

Mr Glazebrook, 47, from Middlesbrough, is a former cinema projectionist and worked in television, film and videos - producing 3D graphics and CGI effects - before taking a foundation course in fine arts and progressing to the production design course alongside his daughter Jennifer, 22.

He said: “We could create our own brief for the masking making project. The concept for my metal mask is a dystopian future, where sinners are exiled to a distant world to work and this is a part of the uniform that they have to wear. It is fantastic to see all the works on show at the Museum and I hope that visitors have enjoyed seeing the creations that we have produced as part of our degree.”
