This summer, my university sent me to Rome to study jewellery design to help me develop my skills in 3D art. UAL offers an ‘Arts Abroad’ scheme where students apply to be selected to be sent to a university of their choice to study the course of their choice for the summer. I spent the month learning from world-class lecturers in jewellery design, and I discovered my passion for fine art was not a redundant tool in this field – it was an advantage.
After I first experimented with 3D arts by making a bag inspired by my own rabbit illustrations for a university project, I decided I wanted to continue exploring disciplines outside of my comfort zone. What better way to do that than by learning the art of jewellery design in Rome for the summer? Because as we all know, the most iconic fashion trends are nothing without jewellery.
