We believe in diversity. At the Jewellery Art programme at HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design we supply our students with well-equipped workshops, challenging projects and time for free exploration during their journey towards finding a unique artistic voice.
Working with traditional techniques as well as investigating modern design approaches generates a variety of opportunities in the jewellery art field. The Academy premises in Gothenburg, originally built in 1904, house Design, Textile Art, Ceramic Art and Jewellery Art programmes in an open atmosphere where students cross share knowledge. Our teachers are active artists and we strive to keep close contact with the art community and society on both the local and the global scenes.
As a student, you are encouraged to research materials and artistic ideas individually and in groups. International artists are invited as guest teachers to provide new perspectives. You will improve your skills to present and discuss your work. Artistic practice combined with reflection helps you grow a strong identity as an artist.

Jie Zhou explored to express unequal power relationship between parents and children in traditional Chinese families through employing narrative jewellery with humour. While living in Sweden for two years during the MA study, Zhou became aware of cultural differences, especially in the power relationships between parents and children in Sweden and China. In Sweden, children appear to be respected by their parents and their ideas are heard. In Chinese families, parents express their love towards their children by providing the best possible education, and in return, children are expected to fulfil parents' expectations, where the children’s opinions are neglected. Through the final installation, Zhou aimed to recreate the over-emphasis on education and parental “care” felt from the perspective of a child.

Ruth Gilmour deals in her work with her own vulnerability, which she addresses through craftsmanship. These are special issues in the current situation with regard to working from home under health considerations. Ruth Gilmour’s textile works question the unified and self-contained self and show the diversity of physical nature and the various concepts of being. Own experiences and memories are implemented in both traditionally crafted and modern digital processes. The starting point for the work is worried about the state of the world and one's own health, which should find a solution in the combination of body and material. Ruth Gilmour, therefore, uses materials such as silk with its transparency, delicacy, and strength to depict skin and bones, to symbolize sensitivity and contrasts. She sees the choice of silk as problematic, as silk on the one hand forms a pleasant, comforting material, but on the other hand, it is obtained by destroying the protective cocoons of other living beings. Her work is based on digital photographs of her own body, which are digitally printed on silk and then processed with a needle, whereby the image is deconstructed and alienated, the material being dissolved to form fringes, which in turn are reminiscent of old communication systems. By dividing, fraying, folding, and knotting, the body is multiplied by innumerable threads coloured by information. Similar to the body itself, the work is constantly changing.
