Report

End of Year Btech Reflective Report

Description

 At the beginning of this year, I started with the first year of my Btech. I started of not knowing in what direction to go into although I had an understanding that I wanted to use nature as an inspiration for my work. I did not know how I was going to do this so I started looking at what other jewellers were doing to gather a bit of interest and I started exploring the natural environment around me where I took leaves out of my garden and I tried recreating their vein patterns using the technique of roll milling. I I discovered that I was intrigued by texture and it lead to me exploring etching and I dabbled in incorporating my hand sketches into my work by etching my hand drawn designs inspired by nature onto metal . I was in a phase where I enjoyed the concept of the combination of drawings and jewellery so I went on to explore drawing with pencil onto white enamel surfaces. At this point in time, I decided to revert back to my initial concept of working with textured leaves and I took it further by combining movement into my work
