Design students showcased their creations during a recent First Thursdays event at the Design Garage on Roeland Street.
Fashion, Graphic Design and Industrial Design students as well as students from the Extended Curriculum Programme all participated in the event with the creations showcased ranging from furniture to clothing.
First Thursdays have become popular among Capetonians and take place on the first Thursday of every month.
It allows the public to explore art galleries and other cultural attractions in the city centre.
“I’ve always attended First Thursdays in the CBD. Our building is very isolated from the rest of the university so we don’t really socialise with anyone else, not even with each other in the building. I thought an event like this would be a great opportunity for us to meet each other and see each other’s work and to show it to the public,” said Fashion student Shameemah Martin.
She said the students hoped to make it a monthly event.
