This year delegates included....

The students stand with their work whilst the guests circulate, having the chance to practice their professional patter, make vital networking connections, gain invaluable insights and feedback and importantly check price points before they show their work to the public.

One of this year’s special guests was Lyndsey James editor of the online magazine Artisan Founder who was keen to visit HCA and see the wealth of talent in the School for herself and has reported back on her visit in a feature editorial piece

Degree shows offer a rare glimpse of what happens when creativity is given room to truly breathe. While material costs inevitably place limits on what can be explored, students still have the opportunity to pursue ideas wherever their curiosity takes them.
Lyndsey James, editor of Artisan Founder

Lyndsey also selected two students for future feature editorial spots, James Taylor (Artist Blacksmithing) and Tracy Somerville (Contemporary Design Crafts).
