Falmouth Illustration – Our Cabinet of Curiosities
During the Falmouth Illustration Festival members of staff held and exhibition of their work to give an insight either their professional practice or personal creativity. Exhibitors include; Georgie Bennet, Keryn Bibby, Graham Black, Sue Clarke, Cally Gibson, Tilly McKerrow, Nick Mott, Chris Odgers, Mat Osmond, Nigel Owen, Linda Scott and Emilia Wharfe. The exhibition was supported by a Collaborative Zine project run by Hugh Frost with the theme ‘Passages’.
Falmouth’s Illustration students had plenty to shout about. With six students listed as ‘ones to watch’ in the Festival Portfolio Picks: Amy Sutton, Daniel Converio, Ellie Lonsdale, Ewan White, Lily Stock and Eleanor Bannister were all highlighted as designers with bright futures ahead of them.
Graham Black and Natalie Hayes, lecturers in BA (Hons) Illustration, reflected on a “phenomenal” effort from their students.
“The phenomenal success of Falmouth Illustration BA (Hons) students scooping six of D&AD’s New Blood Festival Portfolio Picks is testament to the amazing talent and resilience of our students. It demonstrates how our graduates leave Falmouth ‘industry ready’, culturally aware and poised to embark upon their creative careers. We are not surprised that so many have been acknowledged in such a prestigious competition and we are immensely proud of them all.”
