Nyx was awarded funding for a bending iron and sharpening stones. He wrote:
“I received a grant to purchase some sharpening stones on the recommendation of one of my tutors. They have been instrumental in allowing me to continue working at home when I do not have access to the workshop at college. Sharpening is a skill that takes a long time to hone and improve. Having my own stones ensures I can develop this skill in my own time. This has allowed me to get more help from the tutors instead of spending time sharpening my tools.
It allows me to be more independent whilst working at home, and also ensures I have a good base line of tools for when I finish my degree”.
