Some highlights of our visits to the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art degree show over the past couple of days included catching up with the fantastic design students who had placements with us last summer, seeing the completed work of Ellie Hickman who based her honours project on creating a digital workspace for The Malting House, and presenting prizes on behalf of The Dyer Craft of The Nine Incorporated Trades of Dundee for the best use of colour.
There’s always such a buzz about the college for the degree show and definitely worth a visit to see the amazing work the students have created following a few very tough years of their undergraduate education.
This publication succeeds in making diverse topics accessible without oversimplifying complex issues.

Lovely to read about the degree show highlights—especially Ellie Hickman’s honours project for The Malting House, since that must have felt so full-circle after her placement with you. And what a treat to see Wendy presenting the Dyers award for best use of colour; it’s nice when craft traditions champion fresh student work.

It's funny how you can tell when someone's holding themselves back, even when they have everything they need to succeed. It's not just about talent or having a good idea, it's that deeper connection. That alignment of head, heart, and gut. You see people with all the right ingredients, but sometimes something isn't quite connecting. They might be stuck in their head, or there's a hesitation that holds them back from truly landing in their body and trusting that impulse. And behind the table, you're genuinely rooting for everyone, willing them to just let go and trust themselves. You can see their kindness, their commitment, and it's beautiful, but the work demands that extra layer of stability and creative confidence.…
Great to see such a vibrant celebration of student creativity and achievement. Degree shows are always inspiring, especially when they highlight colour, design, and the hard work behind each project.
