ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Goldsmiths’ Centre supports the Student Medal Project with its administrative costs, including those for exhibitions and symposiums held at universities around the UK.

This catalogue includes all of the students who participated in the Project, with details about their work, in their own words, edited for clarity and space. Sponsorship for the design of the catalogue has very generously been given by the Worshipful Company of Tin Plate Workers alias Wire Workers, The Worshipful Company of Founders and by the Goldsmiths’ Centre. Sponsors of the prizes have continued to be very supportive and we cannot thank them enough. The Worshipful Company of Founders awards the Grand First Prize for the medal that most successfully makes use of the medallic medium, and continues the tradition of paying for a cast of the winning medal for the Founders’ collection. Thus their prize is a validation and celebration of the student’s work. The Worshipful Company of Tin Plate Workers alias Wire Workers has set aside a fund each year to purchase the winner of their prize to add to their collection. The Grand Second Prize is presented by Thomas Fattorini Limited. This year other prizes were awarded by: the John Herbert bequest; Philip Roberts, the Michael Roberts Memorial Prize; the Ditchling Prize, Joe Cribb; The Worshipful Company of Cutlers; Pangolin Editions; G W Lunt; The Bigbury Mint. Kate Harrison has created an award for a student to increase their knowledge of medal making.
