Graduate Showcase launches as a digital platform where our students, their families and friends, staff and the GSA’s global creative network of 22,000 alumni, partners, employers and industry as well as the wider public can come together online to begin to look, listen, watch, read, review, engage, follow and connect with our graduating students’ individual Showcases of work, some still in process, some completed, along with critical and community reviews and live events, performances and happenings.

We invite you to join us for the launch of The Glasgow School of Art's Graduate Showcase 2020 on 29.05.2020. Please click this link to join the online Graduate Showcase and further update.
We then invite you to follow our graduates' progress into the future as each digital Showcase will be kept updated through 2020 and 2021 - allowing our graduates of 2020 to keep sharing new work with you as they are able to produce it.
GSA has also given a commitment to support physical exhibitions and presentations of work as part of Graduate Showcase over 2020 and 21 once social distancing restrictions allow.
About the course and exhibition:
The Silversmithing and Jewellery programme at Glasgow School of Art aims to provide a broad, balanced approach to the specialism, from the development of original design concepts through to finely crafted finished work. A strong emphasis is placed on the individual, allowing students the freedom to pursue and realise their own ideas, encouraging the exploration of materials and concepts in order to create their own voice. The journey through the design process is important and informs the final work. This is demonstrated through an incredible range of source material and creative interventions. Through this exploration, graduates have a rich source of inspiration from which to develop ideas. This creative toolbox has generated graduates, past and present that have technical skills but equally, skills to think creatively in all aspects of design and applied arts.
Names of the guiding teachers:
Head of Department: Anna Gordon.
Tutors: Andrew Lamb, Marianne Anderson, Michael Pell and Silvia Weidenbach.
