Our Degree Students have been very busy showcasing all their beautiful work at Hampton Court Palace.  Starting with a special celebration and awards evening with friends and family, followed by a spectacular showcase of the Third Years’ Final Major Projects at our Degree Show.

Thank you to international artists, Neil Musson and Jono Retallick, who made the celebration evening extra special by presenting the awards to our First and Second Year Students.  RSN Degree Students have recently worked with musson+retallick on a project called ‘Fields of EveryWhen’ which is a unique artwork, bringing stories of a local community to life through needlework and a hot air balloon!
