We are delighted to announce that two of our Millinery students were selected as winners at the Feltmakers Awards 👏

Part 2 features Victoria Hinds, winner of the Commercial Appeal Award 🏆

Congratulations to Victoria, whose work uses design to reflect on personal relationships and the passage of time. Inspired by memories of her mother growing vegetables, the project explores how their relationship has evolved and deepened over the years.

Opening next week: Setsu Waters: Jewellery and Objects ✨

This memorial exhibition celebrates the life and work of Morley College jewellery student Setsu Waters (1951–2025), an accomplished jeweller whose refined craftsmanship, elegant forms and distinctive artistic voice left a lasting impression on all who knew her work.

Born in Tokyo and later settling in England, Setsu developed a remarkable creative practice rooted in patience, precision and imagination. Her jewellery combines finely crafted metalwork with richly coloured enamel and carefully selected gemstones, alongside a series of beautifully made objects that reflect the same thoughtful attention to detail.

Setsu studied at Morley College and the School of Master Jewellers in Birmingham. In 2023, she received two Gold Awards and one Silver Award at the prestigious Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Awards, recognising both her technical excellence and innovative design.

Friends, tutors and fellow students remember Setsu not only for her talent, but also for her warmth, kindness and generosity of spirit. This exhibition brings together a selection of her jewellery and objects in celebration of her life, creativity and artistic achievement.

The exhibition will be on display in the Barbara Christie Case in the foyer at Morley College Waterloo Centre.
📅 1 June – end of July
Private View: Thursday 4 June, 12–2pm

brings together end of-year activity by our talented visual artists.

Congratulations to Imogen Privett, who was awarded First Prize for her beautiful project. Inspired by Renaissance armour, her work blends strength with fragility, creating sculptural forms that both shield and expose the wearer depending on the angle of view.

Check out Part 2 with our other winner Victoria next Saturday.

And the journey doesn’t stop there… 👒
