This exhibition presents a collective investigation into the intersection of technology, art, and daily experience, inviting viewers to consider how digital and artificial influences shape our world.

1st-year students have worked with cuttlefish casting, bringing texture and organic forms into their creations.
2nd-year students applied fold forming, manipulating metal to create intricate designs.
3rd-year students explored vitreous enamel, incorporating vivid colour and detailed craftsmanship into their pieces.
4th-year students experimented with mould making and resin casting, pushing the boundaries of traditional jewellery-making.
