AN ABERDEEN art graduate has been named Scotland’s Young Product Designer of the Year.
Scott Crawford, 24, who graduated from Gray’s School of Art last year, won the award in a competition run by the Scottish Design Exchange (SDX).
The 24-year-old, who studied ceramics at the Garthdee campus, beat dozens of young artists.
Scott, who works from a workshop in Glasgow, will receive £1,000 prize money as well as free sales space on the SDX website and in its stores for one year.
He said: “There are so many fantastic young designers in Scotland and to win this award is like a dream come true.
“I know how tough the competition will have been and I can’t thank the judges and the SDX enough for giving me this honour.”
Competition judge Mike Stevenson, chairman of the SDX, said: “I can see Scott’s products becoming must-haves in many Scottish homes.”
