Scrumptious Cochon was the name of the end-of-the-year show by 400-level art students, and it was a savoury experience. The theme was food — colourful ceramic cakes, pies, and magic mushrooms decorated the VAV gallery.

Guests were invited to decorate cookies before perusing the works on display. Sarah Fischler chose to produce food for thought when she recorded a jam session using homemade ceramic instruments.

She then duplicated the record in ceramics and presented both the original recording and the ceramic counterpart for viewers to listen to.
