THE
AMAZING
MACE
The first in an ongoing series deconstructing
the mystery behind the design process.
The Challenge:
To create a modern ceremonial staff that reflects both the values
of George Brown College and the dignity and honour of the
Office of the Chancellor of the college.
In March 2012, Sally Horsfall Eaton was named the inaugural
Chancellor of George Brown College. As the result of
conversations, she challenged the School to create a ceremonial
mace that would celebrate the Office of Chancellor. Luigi Ferrara
Dean, Centre for Arts and Design, took up this challenge and so
began the process of developing the George Brown College
ceremonial mace in collaboration with students, alumni, faculty,
staff and senior management.
