Hyper-realistic animal sculptures 😮

We're shining a light on some of the outstanding work you'll see featured in our Undergraduate Summer Show.

Created by Jeannie Johnstone from our BA (Hons) Technical Arts for Theatre and Screen course, this project reflects her passion for creating hyper-realistic animals, plants and insects.

Her final showcase focuses on a hyper-realistic baby deer in a childlike domestic setting, where insect life has taken hold and plant growth has begun to reclaim the space. 🦌

Our Undergraduate Summer Show takes place from 13 June – 20 June.

Join us for the industry evening on Wednesday 17 June from 6–9pm to support the incredible work of students across all of our undergraduate courses.

Step into a world of myth, movement and costume ✨

Join first-year students from Wimbledon College of Arts at Wimbledon Library for Kaleidoscope of Stories: Costume inspired by East & South Asian Folklore, an imaginative live performance inspired by folk tales from across South and East Asia.

Drawing on stories including Rama and Sita, The Legend of the White Snake and The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, students have created original costumes exploring colour, textile design, silhouette and storytelling through performance.

Created using recycled and repurposed materials, the project celebrates sustainability, craftsmanship and contemporary costume making.

How do you discover you're this talented? 😳

We're spotlighting some of the student work you'll see at our Undergraduate Summer Show. This incredible work is made by Mili Beagley, a student from our BA (Hons) Technical Arts for Theatre and Screen course. She specialises in in prosthetic makeup effects and special effects body props for the film and tv industry.

Explaining her work in more detail, she said "My piece is titled ‘The Changeling’. It depicts a woman holding a baby with elf like ears that have been cut off to appear more human. This work calls for greater recognition of how neurodivergence. I like to use a lot of traditional moulding and casting techniques in my work, but I’ve also started learning to incorporate some small digital parts into the workflow. The body form for the woman was 3D printed."

Our Undergraduate Summer Show takes place from 13 June – 20 June.

Join us for the industry evening on Wednesday 17 June from 6–9pm.
