At the new Creative Waves competition, a number of MPW students were invited to display their work. We were thrilled to learn that Nikan Arghandehpour won first prize in the main 16-19 year old category and, as a result, the winning piece, a ceramic sculpture, will be displayed at the world renowned Saatchi Gallery in July/August.

This is a great achievement and opportunity for Nikan and not only are we very proud of him; moreover, this competition continues to showcase the work of creative arts students and staff at MPW. The organisers commented: ‘Congratulations to MPW and Nikan on winning first prize for his beautiful ceramic piece. All the judges really liked it and said it showed ‘ Mature technical skill, with a satisfying creative title in an organic form.’

The other MPW students who exhibited their work were Abdullah Al-Kazaz, Eric Lim, Khaled Dalloul, Natasha Moss, Yuchen Sun, Constance Burrell, Elle Liu, Florence Deighton and Rainie Chen. The standard of the MPW students’ work really stood out and they all should be congratulated for their efforts and hard work.
