My name's Susie Alexander from Templepatrick in Northern Ireland and I'm currently studying Jewellery and Silversmithing at the Birmingham School of Jewellery. I've completed an HND here in Jewellery and Silversmithing and this year is a top up degree BA in a year (because everyone wishes they could cram 3yrs of work into one!) This course is focused on modern technology so using computers to design jewellery as well as laser technology and so on. The software can be difficult to use but its the future of the industry.
As soon as I arrived in Brum I realised i was actually a homebird :-/ so I'm very much looking forward to finishing this June and returning to the motherland (and my mother!)
So what's the dream? I would like to work within a contemporary jewellery business in Belfast helping them to expand their horizons, get on board with modern technology and hopefully in many ways change the shape of the jewellery industry in Northern Ireland. Further in the future I would like to work with other jewellery designers in the country creating projects and exhibitions. I want to contribute to the future of the Art scene in Northern Ireland and boost the reputation of our wee country......that's the dream :)
