Edgemont Village Jeweller has given a $500 scholarship to an aspiring designer.
Sharon Bradley, a first-year student in the jewellery art and design diploma program at Vancouver Community College, is the recipient of this year’s Edgemont Village Jeweller’s Award of Excellence.
The North Vancouver business has set up a scholarship fund for three years and grants $500 towards tuition to one student per year. Selected by VCC instructors, the winner is a first-year student “with creative ingenuity, technical excellence and strong presentation skills,” notes a statement from Edgemont Village Jeweller.
The current staff at the Edgemont shop are all graduates of the VCC jewellery arts and design program and store owner Sherry Violette Klassen “is a firm believer that the students who graduate from the program are eager to learn and dive into the industry and bring fresh creative ideas to the table.”
