New Designers

More than 100 universities and colleges from the UK and Ireland are represented by around 4,000 graduates. The words bun and fight spring immediately to mind.

Once again the show has garnered support from some top companies, with sponsors including The Audi Foundation, Dyson, Hallmark, Goldsmiths, UK furniture manufacturer Allermuir and Bombay Sapphire. And naturally enough there are awards with cash prizes totalling more than £70,000 to be clinched by 40 graduates.

The show is split neatly into two halves. Part One covers ceramics and glass; contemporary applied arts; jewellery, silversmithing and metal work; and textiles, fashion and accessories. Part Two looks at graphic design and interactive media; product design; furniture design; illustration; managing creativity; spatial design; theatre design and model making.

Other features include a lecture series and One Year On – a satellite exhibition organised by the Crafts Council that proves once and for all that there is life after graduation.
