Anna now has her own label Anna Mason On-line and is currently looking for a summer intern. Please contact Kate Turnbull if you are interested in this position

Year 11 complete their GCSE Art work.

Girls worked hard during their externally set assignment to complete their final outcomes. Students produced an exciting variety of results, ranging from giant 3D paper art, miniature hand-made sculptures and cast porcelain faces, to name but a few. Sketchbooks and coursework were also diverse, with the emphasis being on rigorous drawing,  experimentation with a wide variety of media and processes, cultural referencing and ambitious outcomes. Students were lucky enough to have the use of the new laser cutter, which some of them effectively incorporated into their projects.
