The Craftex 2012 Exhibition will present end of term curriculum work prepared by students across a wide variety of subjects. The exhibition and corresponding awards were established in 1995 by the Trades House of Glasgow, a federation of the city’s ancient crafts originating from 1605.
The Craftex Awards will see a top student selected in each subject that forms part of the exhibition with winners receiving a cheque and a certificate and the chance to take the coveted ‘best in show’ Gold Medal Award. The Medal will be presented by the Trades House Deacon Convener, John R Steele, to mark the exhibition opening on Thursday 7 June at 10am. A special Deacon Convener’s prize will also recognise Best Design in Show.
The Craftex Award Ceremony will be held in the Trades Hall on Friday 8 June 2012 at 7.30pm
