Nicola Mather (jewellery)

A highlight of the jewellery class is the work of Nicola Mather. After gathering natural objects from around her home, she has translated their sculptural forms into a collection of work made from a combination of textured etched silver and forged steel. The rings are especially covetable.nicolamather1@hotmail.co.uk

Eva Joly (textiles)

Using the CMYK process that's most widely used in the production of newspapers, Eva Joly has been able to hand print her textiles in vibrant colours perfectly suited to the subject matter of her designs. Eva has taken a lighthearted look at ordinary everyday objects found within the home, with piles of plates, HP sauce bottles and scotch eggs as surface patterns.eva.joly1@gmail.com

Ben Smith (textiles)

Influenced by the forms found within mechanical objects, Ben Smith has played with transparency and layering of printing inks, to create textiles patterned with complex, abstract compositions of concentric shapes. They would suit the interior of any 1960's space ship!

Katherine Agnew (jewellery)

Katherine's delicate and jaw droppingly intricate pieces are inspired by the landscape of the Highlands, its folk songs and fairy tales. Her use of contrasting materials such as oxidised silver, yellow gold, citrines and pearls has produced striking yet wearable jewellery

Murray Houston Smith (textiles)

A standout in the textile department was the subtle collection by Murray Houston Smith. Intended for use in fashion menswear, his beautiful swatches in silk and soft tweeds are subtle in colour palettes and patterned with sensitive yet architectural line drawings with a focus on composition and proportion.

Victoria Lemon (jewellery)

Victoria's work reinterprets various half-glimpsed pieces of typography from the past, and found in her surrounding city environment. Through repetition and manipulation of scale, she has playfully used the shapes created by the written word to produce bold brooches and intriguing rings in a mix of green enamel, silver and yellow gold.
