Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery Shop Commission

The redevelopment of Shrewsbury’s Music Hall as a cutting edge venue for tourism, heritage and the arts is due to open in the spring 2014. This unique space will play host to one of the West Midlands foremost venues for contemporary art.

Shrewsbury museum has invited our 3D Contemporary Crafts and Products students at Bucks New University to develop ideas for a range of commercial artefacts to be sold through their museum shop.

The brief focused thematically upon Shrewsbury’s heritage and history and the interpretation of its museum collections.

That’s the spirit

Our Second-year BA (Hons) 3D Contemporary Crafts & Products student Lucinda Newbound has won second prize in The Goldsmiths' Company Young Designer Silversmith Award working to a brief to design a drinking set for an alcoholic spirit.

Fellow second-year students Claire Hughes and Loucinda Nims received commendations.

Lucinda will be spending a day working with top silversmith Clive Burr at The Goldsmiths’ Centre.

Course leader Andreas Fabian said:

“This is an extremely prestigious competition so all three students have done fantastically well to be recognised and a day working with such a well-regarded figure as Clive Burr represents a great opportunity for Lucinda.”
