Looking Forward...
Last week the 3rd year (Jewellery and CAA) students put their work on display for assessment. Here are some examples of work produced in the Small Metals workshop. I think we can look forward to a strong summer show.





The images above show Amy's oversized earring backs; utilising techniques such as flocking in the 3D workshop and using an external company for gold plating. She has also begun to work in silver and the effect of these combinations is tremendous...





Gemma's beautiful pieces of Jewellery are exsquisite and show a high level of skill and finish (above)






Rob has produced a range of automata 'toys'; he has developed and painstakingly cut out a set of interlinking cogs that work like a dream. He has started working with silver for his final pieces (above).





Fran's minature jewellery (above) has been assembled using tiny screw threads that blow the mind.





Dom (above) has worked hard to produce a range of vessels that have been rolled, press-formed and etched. She has used a variety of different metals, patinas and finishes to create the end result which has a strong impact.
