At the 2010 College for Creative Studies Student Exhibition in front
of the rug produced from the first place design, Suzanne Hagopian
presented awards to the three talented students who placed in this
year's competition.
Sponsored by Hagopian World of Rugs and in collaboration with the
College for Creative Studies, it was conceived to mentor students in
the field of textile design and support the school. Students are given
the opportunity to submit designs based on specific criteria and
compete for scholarship moneys. In addition, Hagopian has the first
place design made into a rug and displayed at the Student Exhibition.
Also present for the awards were the 2010 judges from the metro
Detroit design community who v olunteer their time and expertise to
the project, Phyllis Canvasser, Phyllis Canvasser Designs and Paul
Feiten, Paul Feiten Designs.
This year's criteria, according to Suzanne Hagopian, were to design a
rug using the organic and natural fiber of Hemp in keeping with her
goal of "green ideas and methods," a concept she promotes personally
and professionally. The idea was embraced by the students and the
results were innovative and impressive.
The 2010 First Place was awarded to student Anthony Kieran, a senior
whose design was inspired by microscopic organisms. Second place was
awarded to freshman Kristina Prybula for her design based on combining
things to make something larger. Third place was awarded to junior
Veronica Bayagich for her design inspired by music. All the students
received a commemorative plaque and scholarship moneys. In addition, a
gift was presented from Hagopian to the College for Creative Studies.
