BA Jewellery student Ely Cao has been awarded the ENJOIA’T Prize for Contemporary Jewellery Making. The ceremony of The Enjoia’t Awards, organised by FAD for the past two decades, runs as part of the Contemporary Jewellery Fair of Barcelona JOYA.
Recent BA Jewellery graduate Chloé Valorso was selected to take part in the ‘White Canvas’ exhibiton at Mint, during the 2016 London Design Festival (LDF). Curated by Lina Kanafani, the show acted as a platform to over ’50 new and established designers who were chosen for their unique handcrafted skills working in a broad range of mediums.’
Two BA Jewellery students have designed awards for the launch of the Maths and Computing Suffrage Science Scheme, at Bletchley Park. Founded within The MRC Clinical Sciences Centre (CSC) at Imperial College London, the initiative saw 12 women receive awards to ‘celebrate their scientific achievements and ability to inspire others’.
‘The awards themselves are pieces of jewellery, designed by students at the arts college Central Saint Martins, and inspired by science. One is a golden brooch punctured with holes that encode a secrete message, reminiscent of the punctured tape once used to store computer data. The second, a silver bangle, also holds a secret. Engraved on the inside, and hidden beneath a layer of silver, is what many mathematicians consider the most beautiful equation in mathematics, Euler’s equation.’
This year’s London Design Festival sparked a unique collaboration between Arthur Beale – London’s last remaining Yacht Chandler- and our very own BA Jewellery staff. The ‘Countercurrent’ exhibition brought an unexpected confrontation of two differently evolved sets of craft skills and traditions. Here’s a taste of some of our staff’s final creations.
