Undertaking a full time course in Jewellery and Object Design was never going to be undemanding. For many students, the first brief of the year has already caused a few restless nights and the pressure is rising as we contend to get our work finished on time. The weight will rise from the shoulders as you wrap your work up and package it into a box after spending countless hours making the once thought great designed pieces. Unsatisfied with that edge that is out by 0.3 of a millimeter or that scratch that always manages to make an appearance last minute will all be forgotten once your work has been collected. The stress starts to dissolve and you know you have only so much time before it starts to work its way back in to your daily schedule. Making requires stamina, focus, strength and perseverance, yet the rewards can be huge. In a society only too comfortable with instant gratification and sanitised pleasure, it has been forgotten that the greatest highs come from the deepest lows. Applying yourself totally can produce a sense of satisfaction that is impossible to replicate.
