Artist Designer Maker: Glass and Ceramics

Erica Donnelly, 23, from Newcastle (Illustration and Design)

Erica, who also studied a Design MA, now works as a primary school teacher alongside self-publishing her illustration work.

She said: “I am incredibly excited and grateful to have my work exhibited.

“During lockdown I felt like I missed out on such a great opportunity to have all my hard work exhibited. However, this fantastic new gallery has really allowed me to revisit my achievements and feel a sense of pride.”

The University of Sunderland is supporting MadeAtUni: Creative Sparks, a national campaign to showcase the creative talent produced by UK universities and encourage the Government to promote and support the importance of creativity and creative courses.
