Olivia was delighted to have been one of the awardees of the prestigious Crafts Council Development Award in September 2008.

The CCDA is awarded four times a year, to work selected by an external panel of established makers, on quality and originality alone.

The award, which is given to selected makers from various craft disciplines within 3 years of setting up their business, offers a substantial equipment grant, a bursary and professional development support from the Crafts Council for a year.
