Award winning jewellery artist Zoe Robertson is a practice-based researcher at the School of Jewellery, Birmingham City University. Her current studio practice explores the notion of Jewellery and Performance, in which the relationship between the object, the body and space is explored. Her work is exhibited within an international arena and recent accolades include being awarded an Honorable Mention at the Cominelli Foundation’s International Competition for Contemporary Jewellery 2012 (Italy). As well as being selected for the European Prize for Applied Arts (Belgium) and the ITAMI International Contemporary Jewellery Exhibition (Japan).
The Workshop: The workshop will explore themes relating to the summer exhibition at Ruthin Craft Centre called ‘Not Too Precious’ and the work of jewellery artist Zoe Robertson. You will be encouraged to test out experimental drawing techniques, alongside developing ideas which explore three dimensional forms to build repeatable structures. These design methods will result in theatrically scaled jewellery which is ‘Not Too Precious’. During the workshop you will also be encouraged to photograph your design process which will result into catwalk creations for your portfolios. (You will need to bring cameras for filming and photographs).
