Final-year student wins design prize

Stefano Zammit, a final-year national diploma student following MCAST's design crafts course, was awarded the Malta Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce prize for his project entitled Biomorphic - Forms And Images.

The project is on display at the MCAST's Institute of Art and Design's annual exhibition at St James Cavalier, Valletta. Mr Zammit designed and produced a sculpture-like structure, which serves as a cascading water fountain, made entirely of stone.

The prize, which consisted of a trophy to be retained for one year and a book token, was presented by the Minister of Education, Youth and Employment, Louis Galea who also inaugurated the exhibition.

The exhibition, at the St James Upper Galleries, closes on July 22.
