Jewellery and Silversmithing is a small and specialised 4-year BA programme within the School of Design at Edinburgh College of Art with a world-class reputation for high quality craftsmanship and design.

We balance old and new approaches to traditional craft techniques with innovation, exploration and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Our objective is to design critically informed work that integrates ‘thought’ and ‘practice’ to contribute towards the ever-evolving creative industries within and out with our discipline.

Our philosophy encourages a wide range of approaches, from the traditional gold and silversmiths’ trade, to the contemporary influences of art, craft, design, technology and science.
