STUDENTS at Bradford College have been given the chance to cast an eye on the work of their teachers following the opening of a new exhibition.

More than 25 members of staff from Bradford School of Art and the Northern School of Creative Industries have put their work on show at the Dye House Gallery at the college.

The collection of work shows off the breadth of talent among tutors and technicians, and includes knitting, ceramics, sculptures and make-up designs, as well as paintings and photography.

Carole Griffiths, an art lecturer at the college, said: “The response from staff to participate in this show has been incredible.

"The hidden talents of all have finally been exposed. Sometimes we do not always recognise the research and practice of all those who contribute to the learning environment.

"As research coordinator I wanted to celebrate this and the show certainly reveals the eclectic expertise we have within the Faculty of Arts.

“The show is by all the staff in the Faculty of Arts, showcasing current research and practice. This includes all the technicians who support teaching.

“The exhibition highlights the extent of all the shared skills which acknowledge the talent and expertise within the institution. It is also an opportunity for the students to see beyond what is taught and to understand the continued development of art practice produced by the lecturers. Creativity doesn’t stop it continues.”

The exhibition is open at the Dye House Gallery until Friday, November 2, and is free and open to the public weekdays until 4pm.
