Alice Fry will use her grant to invest in Rhino CAD software to create 3D printed and cast settings for her jewellery and silverware, showcasing her work at the Goldsmiths’ Fair and Craft in Focus Wisley. Megan Brown will hire a photographer and model to create a marketing brochure, enhancing her website and social media presence.
