One of Winifred's former students at the Girvan Pottery is Tom
Hopkins-Gibson who was featured recently in a BBC2 programme ‘The Next Big Thing'
presented by Dragon's Den entrepreneur Theo Paphitis.
The programme followed Tom as he succeeded in securing
a commission from London department store Liberty.
He recently moved back to his home town of Auchinleck in Ayrshire
where he is refurbishing an empty furniture showroom to turn it into a workshop and gallery.
Tom is one of 25 artists
recently selected by Craft Scotland to showcase their work at Philadelphia Museum of Art in America in November, 2011.
