Platinum Success for Duncan of Jordanston Student
17th March 2009
Laura Christie, a final-year student at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee, has won a major prize at what has been described as `the Oscars of the jewellery and metalwork world’.
Laura (21), from Dalgety Bay in Fife, was presented with a Silver Award for Platinum Design at the Goldsmiths Craftmanship and Design Awards 2009 in London. The Awards are open to anyone in the UK involved in silversmithing, jewellery and the allied crafts, so it is a considerable achievement for Laura to win while still being a student.
Dr Sandra Wilson who has recently taken on the management of the Jewellery & Metalwork programme at Duncan of Jordanstone said, “We are delighted to see Laura winning such a prestigious prize.
“Laura is a good example of the new breed of jewellery student who combines both traditional hand skills with new technologies such as rapid prototyping to great effect.”
Laura was congratulated at the awards by celebrity jeweller Stephen Webster, who was one of the judges on the competition and is well known for his celebrity clients including Madonna.
