Each year, the Manchester Craft & Design Centre selects and exhibits talented students from the Manchester School of Art whose work is ambitious, exciting, and demonstrates great potential.
We are proud to announce this year’s 18th award-winning graduates: Mary Craig, Sam Holmes, and Isla Paine. These BA (Hons) Product Design and Craft graduates caught our attention through their creative use of materials, pattern and movement. Their collection showcases how materials can both impact and be impacted by the environment. Drawing inspiration from their surroundings, these innovative graduates use the movement of place and person to reflect the harmony of nature and life. Their work conveys messages of urgency and hope, empowering the audience towards a brighter, greener future.
