Updates on staff and students on BA Jewellery Design
It might have been a year late but our graduate of 2020 finally got the chance to showcase their incredible work during London Design Festival 2021 at Gallery SO. The exhibition was a real testament to our graduates, who had a real whirlwind of a year in 2020 whilst being in their final year. The exhibition was a heartwarming, celebratory event of their hard work and positive attitude.
Thank you Catarina Silva, for curating the Schools Exhibition and including our graduates work! If you are here for Lisbon Contemporary Jewellery Biennial 2021 come and see the fantastic graduate work all together of CSM, Halle, Limoge, Estonia, Lucerne, Ar.Co, Hasselt and St Lucas Antwerp
CSM Graduates exhibiting: Bronia Kidd, Jo Harrison-Hall, Iona Hindmarch Bisset, Katie Gibbon, Zak Sheinman and Gonçalo Camboa
It is our pleasure to introduce you our BA Jewellery Design, Graduate showcase 2021 .
This year’s group of students deserve a standing ovation for getting through this extraordinarily complicated year. It is a testament to their personalities, creativity and tenacity that they worked through the frustration and the moments when access to nearly everything was denied due to the lockdowns and have come through with a range of exciting, innovative, challenging and relevant work that explores and questions the subject of jewellery.
BA Jewellery Design would like to thank all of our donors, partners, friends and collaborators for the generous support given to the course which has a significant impact on the student experience.
On behalf of the BA Jewellery Design course team and everyone who has worked with this group, I would like to wish all of the graduates every success in the future.
We are very proud of what this group has achieved now and we look forward to see how their work and careers develop into the future.
Giles Last,
Course Leader

A very big thank you to everyone who took part in our Autumn Lecture series. It was very much appreciated from all our students and staff.
Colour Hive, creators of MIX Magazine have selected graduates from the Jewellery, Textiles and Materials programme at Central Saint Martins to showcase and discuss their final projects. The selected projects, connected through a shared interest in community, identity and participatory design will be used as a starting point to consider how the concept of ‘Community’ informs current design responses.
Good Luck to Jo Harrison-Hall, Veronika Fabian (2018), Smaranda Maria Voican selected for the I-D and Artsthread Global Design Graduate Show 2020!
Congratulations to Jo Harrison-Hall she’s been shortlisted for the MullenLowe NOVA Awards 2020!
Jo’s collection tackles our relationship to hygiene and its cultural connotations. She addresses our complex fears of contamination by exploring the reactions provoked by this natural human emotion. Her pieces explore the practices we use to protect ourselves from the invisible enemy we call germs. Using materials we associate with cleanliness and bathrooms, she creates pieces that imply that our cyclical pursuit of hygiene can teeter into obsessive habits. Her amuletic designs link handwashing to symbolic rituals of protection, suggesting the faith we place in scientific theories to protect us.
We are thoroughly delighted to present to you the work of our 2020 BA Jewellery Design graduates. This has been a very difficult time for everyone – almost unbearably so for many – and yet out student have risen to the challenge and crated unique, insightful and accomplished work. The themes of these collections have a very broad and exciting scope, ranging from issues of identity to manipulating form and material; from addressing the climate emergency to challenging surveillance; and from exploring the intrinsic value of things to questioning stereotypes and idealisation.

Congratulations to our final year BA jewellery students for producing such creative and wide ranging work for our special collaboration with Cartier. Our final year students were asked to create a model of a piece of fine jewellery which take into consideration the DNA of Cartier but also exude their own creative flair. 10 students were shortlisted with the final winner announced at Cartier’s Bond Street flagship in London, to celebrate the fruit of this special live project.
In conjunction with LOVE Magazine, filmmakers Reece and Dean followed our students to Paris as they embarked on a special collaboration with luxury jeweller, Cartier. These exclusive behind-the-scenes videos showcase all the work that has gone in and it even features our very own course leader Giles Last!
