Mackintosh Award for Creative Design 2013

Tonight at the Mackintosh Church we hosted the Mackintosh Award for Creative Design 2013.

The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society launched a competition in partnership with the Glasgow School of Art to inspire young designers to create a contemporary piece of Mackintosh-inspired design to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Mackintosh Society.

The winner of the competition was Morna Darling, a third year student of GSA Silversmithing + Jewellery. Morna was attracted to Mackintosh's textile designs and from this she developed these ideas further. Within the piece shown there are forty squares repesenting every year of the Society, including the four cut out squares representing the four decades.

The competition was open to Contemporary visual artists, fashion & textile designers, graphic artists, 2D & 3D makers and art students all who have a keen idea for creative thinking and interpretation. Entrants were invited to create a motif in the form of a brooch that could be worn to celebrate 40 years of the Mackintosh Society.
