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 and investigating modern design approaches generates various 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.
The Jewellery Art programme at HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design is a part of the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts at the University of Gothenburg.
HDK–Valand offers Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degree programmes.

From series: Hands on- to observe with the hand
The saw and my hand creates parts of a whole. Followed up by well known movements of files. Earlier processed wood is curiously reshaped. The hands are leading, as the eyes assist.
Silky smooth, warm but cool, wood soon accompanied by silver. The colder feeling from the metal gets warmed up fast by my skin. My hands handles both wood and metal gently. Supported by files, hammer and crochet hook form and surface emerges.
Jars lathed by unknown hands, today found at flee markets. Segments from three jars, now in the context of jewellery art, made to wear and touch. A caring, yet sadly necessary(?), homage regarding the hands capacity to observe and experience through the sense of touch.

Necklace: Stolthet eller fördom II, 2023
Textile and aluminium
Photo by: David Eng
From series: Stolthet eller fördom
In this project, I am exploring my identity as a Japanese-Swedish person by processing memories, my own preconceived notions, feelings of alienation, and my longing to belong somewhere. One realization that has emerged during the course of the project is that craft has always been my invitation to engage with both cultures I belong to. Whether it was through weaving and candle making with my aunt, woodcarving together with my father, or sitting on my mother’s lap doing origami, it led to an understanding of the materials and objects that surrounded me and shaped my environment. Here, I draw inspiration from Japanese garment sewing and my memories of growing up with dual ethnicity here in Sweden.

From series: I’m pretending that I'm standing outside a closed door
The closed door makes my anxiety increase. I’m afraid of the loneliness but even more of knocking. You’re doing the best you can, but still you cannot.
And I’ve repeated those mistakes. I’ve told myself to stop being anxious about nothing, to stop being oversensitive. I have diminished myself, yelled and closed the door for my own pain.
But it’s not working. The anxiety is still present and it feels just like it did when I was a child. I try to face it through play and craft, face it at the same stage that it first appeared. In the world of play it can reveal itself, there it can exist without blame.
In this project I have explored the therapeutic properties of art, and how I can apply these to my own experiences of mental illness and anxiety. The starting point is my own childhood and therefore I base my investigation in the world of pretend play. In play as well as art we go through creative processes based on imagination and inventiveness. I believe that play and art can help us face our inner selves and to some extent mend what is broken inside of us. Where words expose, strike wrongly and chafe, materials and images have the ability to capture the essence without exposing private details. Art gives us distance to the pain as well as it welcomes us to express our feelings without reproach.

From series: Don't be so emotional!
I have always been an emotional person. Sometimes it can be overwhelming that small impressions have the power to create significant changes in my mood. During my studies at HDK, I have come to understand that my sensitivity is a strength in my artistic practice. To me, sensitivity means being present, absorbing one’s surroundings, and reacting to them. As a jewellery artist, I always relate my work to the human body, but in my bachelor’s work, I have chosen to depict the emotions that reside within it, based on the body’s own forms. I have sculpted jewellery with bodies that honestly communicate their inner experiences without hiding or distorting them, bodies that dare to show vulnerability. Emotions are our own personal truths that we must learn to accept as they are an inevitable part of life. Whether unbearable or wonderful, emotions are what make life meaningful.

Glasses: A or F, 2021
Silver, wood, pearl, acrylic.
12 x 12 x 15 cm
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 Elvira Gilmour
Textile: Frayed Bodies: Loose Gatherings - Arm, 2020
Digital print on silk.
62 x 43 x 0.01 cm
Photo by: Ruth Elvira Gilmour
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.
