The Winners of Our Joan Harrison Bursary 2021

This year we launched The Joan Harrison Creative Bursary scheme. The scheme was set up to provide valuable study opportunities for those wishing to study our accredited textile courses. It was named after a very dear friend and colleague who sadly passed away in 2015.

For the past few weeks you’ve been voting for your favourite finalist and today, we can announce the WINNERS!  

We’d like to congratulate all of our finalists and winners and say a HUGE ‘thank you’ to everyone who entered our bursary scheme, and took the time to vote.
