A metalwork and jewellery student from Sheffield Hallam University has had her work exhibited in the city’s Millennium Art Gallery after being specially selected for a bursary to create a piece of silverware.
As part of her Designing for Clients module, second year student, Hannah Chapman, designed her ‘As Mud to Silver’ pouring vessel for biologist and author, Richard Dawkins
Hannah was subsequently picked to receive a bursary of £400 from the National Association of Decorative and Fine Art Societies (NADFAS) to bring her design to life which is now on display in the gallery.
Her work was chosen as the worthy recipient of the bursary by Chris Knight, a senior lecturer in Metalwork and Jewellery at Sheffield Hallam and Claire Starkie, Museums Sheffield’s curator of Decorative Art.
After graduating, Hannah hopes to go onto post-graduate study to further her current research surrounding jewellery and objects and how they relate to anxiety as well as the insecurities and barriers that are created in the art world between an artist and the viewer.
