Degree Show Stars

Students at Plymouth College of Art were celebrated at a special prize presentation during their Summer Degree Show.

Family, friends and VIPs from the creative industries arrived at the College to see the work of graduating artists, designers and makers of the future at the annual showcase of degree students’ final projects.

From fine art to fashion; ceramics to computer games; glass blowing to jewellery and sculpture; animation and film; graphic design and illustration; all creative disciplines were celebrated in the exhibition.

Tim Bolton, Academic Director for Higher Education, said: “Congratulations to everyone who has worked incredibly hard to put on a fantastic show.

“The Degree Show is an opportunity not to be missed and a chance to see talent that has been nurtured here in the South West, not to mention the early work of artists of the future.”

A prize presentation took place with entrepreneurs and lecturers from the creative sector presenting awards to the most successful and promising students.

Korash Sanjideh from Chew TV presented an award for the Media Student of the Year. He said: “Each and every student is deserving of a prize so it is hard to pick individual winners, and hearing the student’s personal journeys, and recommendations from their tutors is very moving experience and highlights how hard they have worked.”

Prize Winners are: Alexandra Lidster, Jemma Girdler, Laura Colmer, Martin Watts, Janey Pointing, Christine Sinclair, Sarah John, Corrie Warburton, Kelsey Fox, Amanda Buckley, Patricial Bruen, Sean Page, Steve Maynard, Diana Davydova, Donna Howard, Kelly Smith, Robbie Doran, Kate McLean, Steve Barrett, Serena-June Horgan, Sandy Litchfield, Rebecca Dodman, Elizabeth Davey, Euan Barker, Nicola Crabb, Oliver Alexander-Jones, Ian Clark.
