RUBBISH REIMAGINED IN DESIGN

- By JOSEPH RICHARDS

BURTON and South Derbyshire College (BSDC) students have been highlighting how they can shape a greener future through creative design.

The 3D and Mixed Media students recently showcased a sustainability-themed exhibition on campus, highlighting how creative design can give new life to discarded materials.

A key focus was the reuse of discarded paper, specifically paper destined for the bin.

Students enhanced this material using expressive mark-making techniques with found tools and objects, creating richly textured surfaces.

They used this to develop structural forms designed to serve interior functions such as lighting, sculptural elements or spatial dividers.
