‘Branching Out’ Leeds the way!

Joint winners of ‘Branching Out’ have been announced as Simon Feather of Leeds Beckett University and Sandra Reith of University of Leeds, both recipients of the John Makepeace Award. ‘Branching Out’ was one of the RSA Student Design Award briefs in 2019/20, sponsored by internationally recognised designer and furniture maker, John Makepeace OBE, with additional support from Woodland Heritage.

Apprentice scoops The Prince of Wales Award

The Prince of Wales Award for the top student attending the Woodland Heritage ‘Woodland to Workshop’ courses in 2019 has been awarded to Scunthorpe resident, Rachel Johnson, a timber framing apprentice at the time she attended her course. Rachel is the tenth recipient of this award and had one of the hardest tests to become the winner as three, and not the usual two, courses were run last year meaning that the tutors had over thirty talented students to choose from.
