Last week the British Academy of Jewellery was delighted to welcome students from IATA in Belgium for two weeks on our student exchange programme. Whilst on their visit the students will complete a project titled LAYERS. This will culminate in a small exhibition on the 29th of March in the Mezzanine floor lecture theatre at BAJ- Morley House.
For the brief the visiting students have been looking at London as a city of layers – physically, socially, economically and culturally.
The student is the latest layer – visiting this vibrant city – like every person and group of people they will leave a mark on the city, just as it leaves a mark them.

The students will each create a final piece of jewellery that combines traditional Jewellery making techniques and materials with components that have been digitally designed and laser cut from acrylic sheet. This portion of the project has been sponsored by FABberz who have kindly supplied acrylic sheet and laser cutting services.
