Outstanding Student Award Winners 2019 (Part I of III)

August 14, 2019

The winners of Surface Design Association’s Outstanding Students Awards were announced this past May, and what an amazing group emerging professional work we received. All the student’s work features innovation within the field of fibers and textiles and is part of a cohesive and professionally accomplished body of work. With 36 winners (both nationally and internationally), we’ve decided to break the gallery up into 3 batches of 12 students. Nominated by the chair of their department, all winners receive a free digital membership for the year.
