University for the Creative Arts Rochester. BA Degree Show 2018

UCA Rochester at New Designers showcases the work by graduating students from BA(Hons) Contemporary Jewellery and BA(Hons) Silversmithing, Goldsmithing and Jewellery. Jewellery & Silversmithing at UCA has a rich and successful history of fostering contemporary graduate makers and designers. A workshop centred department we encourage practical material investigation and the acquisition of hand skills in the pursuit of original and innovative creative outcomes. We place significant emphasis on ‘thinking through making’. Iterative testing across a range of materials gives our students a foundation of informed making and technical understanding from which to build and expand independent research.
