Rewind 2007



Walking in light
Best in Show, the annual survey of emerging craft and design practitioners took place at Objectspace over February. Four Unitec Jewellery and Object graduates had their final year projects curated into the high profile showcase of graduate work. The programme is very proud of Scott Facer, Guy Hohmann, Nikki Partridge and Jaime Turnball achievements, and wishes them well for the future.
Check out the work by Unitec Product students Emilia Carallero and Antony Clark as well.



2007 Dowse Scholarship success
Jeweller and architect, Jacqui Chan took out the Dowse New Zealand Student Craft & Design Award 2007, with Chinkeha and Rupture|disruption|upheaval: volcanic jewellery – two brooches made of a combination of traditional and non-traditional materials that reflected issues of identity, tension, challenge and ‘wonderland’.

Suite 6
The 2007 Graduate show was a great hit and widely attended, with the Object zone of control appearing to party longest and hardest, and with style. A big shoutout to all those who volunteered their time and expertise (you know who you are), and a big pat on the back to the Suite 6 crew.
