Evening College Jewelry Design at Secondary School of Applied Arts and Fashion Design, Herbststraße. Degree Show 2017.

Ring: Precious(less) by Iris Baechtold.3D-print, brass, paint.. 2017.Photo by: Patricia Weisskirchner
. The series Precious(less) was inspired by the spiral-like arrangement of leaves found in nature (Phyllotaxis). By combining 3D printed sphere-shaped elements with handcrafted pieces made from traditional materials like gold I intend to explore the artistic potential of digital crafts and their impact on traditional Goldsmithing techniques..

Set: WillenDorf by Gerda Moedlhammer.Silver, iron wire, salt, varnish.. 2017.Photo by: Andrea SegRing & Brooch
.
. My final year project attempts to visualise the mental process of conserving and/or suppressing memories. The capability to control our own memories is limited. Special noteworthy moments don't stay fresh in their entirety and may become clouded as time passes. Forgettable experiences can't be completely forgotten and may resurface..

Brooch: Layers of Me by Andrea Seg.Alpaca, polypropylene sheets, steel wire.. 2017.Photo by: Andrea Seg
. For the degree project, themed “Re:mind-Re:wind”, I looked into the fascinating genre of “photo-jewellery”. The goal was to find my own approach, combining Jewellery and Photography. The outcome is a self-portrait in form of a brooch. My portrait is built of different layers that consist of my memories and surroundings, everything that shaped me to become who I am today. The pieces are exchangeable and removable, depending on how much of myself I want to show..

Necklace: Grey Blossom by Martina Hierweck.Vegan paper leather, lasercut.. 2017.Photo by: Martina Hierweck
. I get inspired by everything that surrounds me – shapes, colours, sounds, smells, lyrics, everyday scenes. While designing a school project I became aware of the matter of the materiality. From that on sustainability became an important part of my jewellery design process. I focused on materials from natural sources. The neck- and arm pieces “Fantastic Plastic” consist of bio plastics and wooden sheeting (100% cellulose), the necklace “Grey Blossom” is made of vegan paper leather and “FishY” is created of salmon leather. One of the positive side effects is that the objects are completely biodegradable. With the left-over material from the laser cut chain links of the jewellery pieces I produced further objects and products like lampshades and bags. I followed the “cradle-to-cradle-concept..

Set: Vertebrae Series by Verena Krems.Copper, bronze, textile.. 2017.Photo by: Franz Jerabek
. The three pieces „Corpus Vertebrae“, „Arcus Vertebrae“ and „Sternum“ are dealing with the topic of vanity and it’s symbolism not only in history but also today. Inspired by the shape of bones, especially vertebrae, and their meaning in jewellery, the pieces address and show uncomfortable truths directly on your body and confront wearer and viewer alike.
. The materials used are copper, bronze and different textiles. For „Corpus Vertebrae“ a combination of wire cutting and forming by hand was used. „Arcus Vertebrae“ was made from cast bronze pieces and hand knotted textiles and „Sternum“ is chased and braided by hand..

Neckpiece: Sei wie der Himmel by Tsetsegdelger Oyundelger.Copper, silver, olive wood, aquamarine, peridot.. 2017.Photo by: Dora KuthyMy main inspiration usually comes from nature. For this piece I was inspired by a feeling I had when I visited the countryside in Mongolia. Being on top of the mountains, hearing nothing but the wind around you, I found tranquillity. My piece functions as a talisman and captures the essence of that moment. I treasure the memory of that feeling, because it helps me to refocus, to find peace in difficult situations and serves as an escape from the stresses and strains from everyday life. .

Necklace: Loops: No End in Sight by Marion Dockel_Kurz.3D-print, metallic-plastic grey, brass.. 2017
. The infinity symbol is the oldest sign for endlessness. My intention was to break with the traditional form. By splitting them into two pieces, afterwards I bend the pieces with a little hook for a 3- dimension look. A new modern loop was created. The print in 3D materials makes it easy to wear them in endless variations..

Brooch: Lotus Flower by Jiayi Zhang.Silver, brass, moonstone.The lotus flower is the symbol for Buddhism (Buddha was born from a lotus flower). In China human qualities are attributed to many flowers, so the lotus flower stands for naturalness, no affectation and keeping your integrity., . 2017.4 x 10 cm.Photo by: Dora Kuthy.From series: Signs Of Life

Necklace: CRESCENDO, Hanging Gardens by Sigrun Palmisano.Copper, plants, waxed cotton cord.. 2017.Photo by: Sigrun Palmisano.From series: CRESCENDO, Hanging Gardens
. My main source of inspiration is nature. The Crescendo Series, consisting of wearable copper spheres that allow you to take a piece of nature with you wherever you go, is driven by the idea of creating a living piece of jewellery that interacts with its wearer. The Hanging Gardens are not finished when I finish my artistic work, they change and evolve according to their gardener’s behaviour and attention..

The Evening College Jewelry Design, Herbststraße Vienna presents their graduates of the year 2017 under the title "SIGNS OF LIFE".

Artist list

Iris Baechtold, Marion Dockal-Kurz, Martina Hierweck, Alexandra Hofer, Verena Krems, Gerda Moedlhammer, Tsetsegdelger Oyundelger, Sigrun Palmisano, Andrea Seg, Jiayi Zhang

A selection of works from three different final projects: “Re:mind Re:wind”, “Prototyping” and “Signs of Life” - is on show.

“Re:mind Re:wind” was dealing with personal memories and their transformation into a unique piece of jewellery. For “Prototyping” the students were asked to develop a jewellery series to a common theme, combining different production techniques and modern technologies. And the title “Signs of Life” triggered the students to create an individual piece for their final exam.

We are excited to present the results of 3 years’ intensive work and hope you enjoy the show at Austrian Fashion Association Vienna.
