Meet the Editors & Designer


We are so pleased to be releasing the third issue of The Canvas Magazine after lots of hard work from everyone involved. Issue three brings exciting new pieces of art in both video and audio formats alongside lots of other interesting content by students, alumni and lecturers at the University of Reading.
