Stellies students wow at annual Visual Poetry Exhibition

The University of Stellenbosch recently hosted their mesmerising annual Visual Poetry Exhibition, where creativity and craftsmanship converged in a breathtaking display of artistry. At the heart of this exhibition were the talented undergraduate students from the Creative Metal & Jewellery Design Department, who were tasked with the unique challenge of creating exquisite pieces of jewellery while mastering specific technical skills.

Their creations, the result of innovative designs and meticulous craftsmanship, captivated the audience and the first to fourth year winner’s went on to win themselves  a 1Oz Silver Medallion from Moon Investments.  The exhibition not only celebrated the union of two distinct art forms but also showcased the talent and imaginative spirit of these emerging jewellery designers.


First year winner: Peter-Ivan Mitrovich


Second year winner: Ingrid Nienaber


Third year winner: Kendra Platen


Fourth year winner: Eloise Retief

Congratulations to all the winners! We look forward to the 2024 Visual Poetry Exhibition.
