A STUDENT is to have her work displayed in a restaurant after winning a competition.

Gemma Goodall, 17, of Brompton-on-Swale, designed a wall-hanging for a textile contest which was launched by Sam's Restaurant, in Coniscliffe Road, Darlington.

Students at Darlington College of Technology were challenged to come up with designs and Gemma won £250.

Diners can now see her gauze, mock suede and lam creation on the wall of the restaurant.

Runner-up Chris Scott, 20, won £50 and his design will be displayed at the Chequers Inn, Dalton-on-Tees, between Northallerton and Darlington.

Restaurant owner Sam King organised the competition to give students a taste of real design work.

She said: "I think Gemma's design is wonderful."
