In November 2021 as part of CPM’s on-going relationship with the University of Stellenbosch, we sponsored prizes of silver and findings for “Liquorice Allsorts: an internal student competition exhibition” by the Creative Jewellery and Metal Design Division of Visual Arts Department.

This division is focused on educating jewellery design as a critical discipline that allows students to reflect on their surroundings and translate their ideas into three-dimensional wearable artworks that communicate and stimulate thought.

Course Leader Carine Terreblanche and Lecturer Mariambibi had this to say to CPM:

“Thank you very much for the generous prizes and for your continued support and service!“
