An exhibition of medals at the Royal Cornwall Museum, River Street, Truro, from 1st July to 31st August 2015.

Cornish students did extremely well this year in the British Art Medal Society Student Medal Project, winning four out of ten prizes, including the Grand Second Prize.  Three came from Falmouth and one from Truro & Penwith.  Also this year, the head of Jewellery and Silversmithing at Truro & Penwith Martin Page has created a medal that the Society is now issuing for sale to its members.  This is included in the exhibition, along with other medals from past and present teachers from Falmouth, and a few former students who have continued to do very well on the art medal scene

Medals by: Nicola Kerslake, Zoe Pearce, Duncan Walters, Sandi Williams, Rachel Osborne, Martin Page, Lucy Willow, Philip Booth, Felicity Powell, Natasha Ratcliffe, Abigail Burt.
