Silversmith Cara Murphy has won the Rosy James Memorial Trust Award, of £15,000. This unique bursary, administered by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland on behalf of the Rosy James Trust, aims to assist craft makers to develop their careers by developing a body of work which might otherwise have been unattainable.
Cara’s work has developed more recently to include elements of colour. She has been in the fortunate position that her mother, Deirdre McCrory, has added that colour through vitreous enamel to several works she has created. Cara would like her to teach her to enamel and is delighted to have been awarded the Rosemary James Memorial Trust Award to allow this to happen.
