e.g.etal Graduate Award
Rings by Sarah Heyward
We recently went to the NMIT graduate exhibition, MINT. It was really impressive. There was a huge amount of work. The range of designs and concepts was diverse and the technical execution was of a really high standard. Congratulations to the students and NMIT staff for putting together a fantastic show.
As part of our philosophy to support emerging designers, we have established the e.g.etal Graduate Award. Our award is available to all accredited institutions teaching jewellery design or gold and silversmithing. The award involves a cash prize, access to e.g.etal staff for advice on starting a design business after graduating and the opportunity to show a range of work through e.g.etal.
This year the NMIT e.g.etal graduate award went to Sarah Heyward. We love her use of steel, gold and silver. This work, and other pieces will be available at e.g.etal early next year, when we will have more information and images.
