Two students from Worcester Sixth Form applied for the 2020 grant. Unfortunately we were unable to go and view their work personally due to all of the Covid-19 restrictions so had to rely on their photographs and application forms. In the end we decided to split the £300 grant in half and give £150 to each student as it was too difficult to decide on a winner without examining their work closely.
Aimee has gone on to study Textiles – Arts at the University of Bournemouth.
The theme for her AS level was “Under the Sea”. She used flat felting, hand and machine embroidery, crochet and many other techniques. Her inspiration came from holidays to Devon and the various objects and creatures she found washed up on the beaches. She was further influenced by the bright colours of tropical fish and the unified movement of shoals of fish.
One of her favourite parts of working with textiles is the ability to experiment with, and manipulate, fabric, combined with 3D design. She stated that she has already developed skills in techniques that use common materials such as cotton and yarn. The support grant would enable her to broaden the range of materials available to her so that she could practise new techniques and develop both her designs and her art pieces.
Her work towards her exam piece was based on Japanese traditional dress.
Sameeah has gone on to study Fashion Design at the University of Gloucester.
The theme for her AS level was modern Pakistani designer fashion. She used techniques of beadwork and appliqué, creating pleats and darts in her dress. Her inspiration was the beauty of her culture which encouraged her creativity in the design of her dress; intricate bead work and ethnic prints are the main selling points for Pakistani fashion.
The support grant would enable her to show her full potential and creativity so that everyone would know what she was capable of achieving.
