Masters has art for art's sake

A WORK inspired by Slovakian folk tales, a selection of unusual Thai jewellery and a series of photographs taken at Inverleith allotments are among the eclectic range of items going on display at the Edinburgh College of Art postgraduate exhibition this week.

The show, called Masters, features glass-makers, interior designers, jewellers and silversmiths, as well as film and TV projects.

Students from Europe, India, Thailand, the US and Canada are contributing to the exhibition.

It takes place in three studios at the college, including a cinema room which will screen a showreel compilation of short films by the eight students graduating from the film and TV course.

The exhibition, at the ECA's main building in Lauriston Place, opens on Wednesday August 27 at runs until September 3.
