Royal College of Art Footwear Bursary


2010 - 2014


From 2010 to 2013, Artisa offered a bursary to support one or more students on the MA Footwear Course at the College. In 2014 we decided to move our attention away from the Footwear Course, which was being merged with Millinery to create a broader Accessories Course, and onto the RCA Innovation Unit. We decided to fund one of their ongoing professional development sessions, focused on writing and PR. This ended up being a one-off engagement with the Unit, however we continue to support and mentor one of the post-grad students we met on the course, Lise Pape.

︎Rachel Chang, 2013
︎Julia Thomas, 2013
︎Caterine Belluardo, 2013
︎Maurice Van der Steuwe, 2012
