We are very proud of Lanty being selected for this prestigious award. Lanty has been a student at UCLan on both the BA Contemporary Crafts course and the MA Ceramics course. He has had an amazing journey, from starting the BA course with little or no knowledge or skills in ceramics. He has gone on to win a number of prestigious awards, including winning the Potclays Emerging Maker Award at the 2015 Aberystwyth International Ceramics Festival, winning a month long residency at the Archie Bray Ceramic Centre in Montana, USA.
