Creative Craft Student 'Highly Commended'
Creative Craft student, Julie Alviti, has been awarded a Highly Commended Certificate in recognition of her outstanding performance on her course - the Level 3 Diploma in Design and Craft (Furnishings). The City & Guilds certificates are awarded under the 'Medals For Excellence' programme.
Julie was nominated by her external verifier, Margaret Walker, for a stunning display of craftsmanship. Her beautiful pieces of work include a re-covered chair, bedding, curtains and an ornate lampshade.
As a result of Julie’s success, the College has also been awarded a City & Guilds certificate in recognition of its high standards of teaching and training.
Julie comes from a farming background and runs an agricultural machinery business together with her husband. They also manage a cereal farm at Ashford Carbonel, near Ludlow.
With over 30 years accounting experience, Julie manages the accounts for the farm and the business on a daily basis. She wanted to do something else and escape from the demands of her hectic working life. Naturally creative, she decided to take a creative crafts course at the College with tutor, Marina Matthews. She hopes to continue working part-time and specialise in creating loose covers.
Following in her mums footsteps, daughter, Emma Alviti also studied fashion at the College’s Hereford Campus and is continuing her studies with a degree in textiles at Manchester University.
