JEWELLERY AND SILVERSMITHING DEGREE SHOW AT THE CASS

London Metropolitan University's Sir John Cass Department of Art, Media and Design (aka The Cass) had its 2011 graduate degree show this week. Being an artist in residence at the Jewellery and Silversmithing department during the year, I had the opportunity to witness the development and flourishing of the new graduates' work. An artist in residence at The Cass is not a teacher but someone present in the workshop who helps students when needed, and who gives them advice on techniques and how to use tools.

I went to the private view on Tuesday evening and was very pleased to see the result of these students' hard work. I took pictures of all that was shown but decided to feature only one piece for each graduate. This process is somehow restrictive as each artist's style and skills cannot be summarised in one picture. But this gives an idea of what was exhibited.
You can also learn more about some of the new graduates by clicking on the link after their names.

Moreover, I had the nice surprise to be thanked for my help with a box of chocolates and a lovely  Thank You red ring (see the last two pictures). 

I would like to thank them for this nice gesture and I wish them all good luck in their projects.
