Alan Hughes, Vice Principal was pleased with this year exhibition and was very appreciative of all the hard work put in by the students. “They really worked hard this year and the exhibition looked fantastic, sometimes you think it’s not going to come together but this year’s intake really pulled out all the stops helping each other at set up and creating a real buzz on the day. I spent a good deal of my time explaining to the profession why the work is so original - that is what the Inchbald is about – each student finding their own way to express themselves and develop – its so obvious these people can think, create and communicate to a high standard”
