Success for Wirral Met Students as they scoop first and second prize in the Liverpool Museum Competition 'Inspired By'. Student, Barry Canning-Eaton won first prize for his jewellery set inspired by dinosaurs and constructed in ceramic and silver. Barry is also a sculptor and is currently renting studio space where he produces original sculptures and jewellery pieces. Barry hopes to continue this work and become more recognised for his original pieces. Student, Theresia Cadwallader won second prize for her origami earrings, she also constructed a box from the competition form which the judges really liked. She also made a necklace inspired by Terry Duffy's exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery, constructed from silver and titanium. After the course Theresia hopes to continue designing and making jewellery and exhibit more widely across the UK and eventually world-wide. Both Barry and Theresia are on the second and final year of The First Diploma in Art and Design- Jewellery part-time course in the Arts School. Les Rowe, Art Foundation Lecturer commented, “We are just delighted that two of our students have won first and second prize they deserve it for all their hard work.”
