Jewellery + Object Design Department, Design Centre, Enmore Logo

About The Department

“The students work in a field of craft which has a long and rich tradition. They transform materials into objects of beauty and function, in a process where the material is made submissive to the concept of the desired form.”
Catherine Harrington, Head of Department

Processes and construction techniques are a major focus of the course with the students undertaking in-depth instruction in a range of practical skills. Supporting subjects encompass photography, drawing and rendering, design computing, jewellery and design theory, professional practice and exhibition design.

Each academic year culminates in an end of year exhibition produced entirely by the students.

Graduates of the course have gone on to success as internationally exhibiting contemporary jewellery and object designers. Others have excelled in related fields such as education, curatorial and museum practice, industrial and product design and arts writing.

Artist Statement

My work is about harmonising form, material and structure with function. I believe in composing “timeless functional structures” as objects that enhance us, our environs and the quality of our lives.

Email Contact Marina

Marina Civiero is a contemporary jeweller based in Sydney with galleries and retail stores around Australia, representing her work. She is also currently part of the Jewellery and Object Design teaching staff at the Design Centre, Enmore.

Taking inspiration from many sources, including interiors, nature and fabrics, Marina enjoys incorporating colour and texture into her work. Her current production work features the use of textile materials such as silks and felt, together with precious metals. Utilising textile techniques such as printing and weaving, there is a strong sense of hand work and stitching. Through
attempting to replicate textiles processes and textures, there is also a reminder of her childhood and of her mother, Adele, constantly hand and machine knitting, sewing and stitching.

Since graduating from Jewellery and Object Design at Sydney Institute of Technology, Randwick TAFE in 1993, Marina has worked in many areas of the jewellery industry, from traditional, fashion to contemporary.

In 1994, she began a partnership with fellow graduate, Melissa James and together they formed Wingbeat Designs. From humble beginnings at Bondi Beach Markets, they went on to establish the jewellery gallery/retail outlet, Blue Turtle Studio, located in Newtown, Sydney. From 1996 to 2003 they were designing, making and selling their contemporary jewellery within their colourful and inviting studio.

Artist Statement

A fascination with the potential for objects to evoke narrative has fuelled Melinda Young’s recent exhibition work. For her, everything is precious, even the ephemeral – it is the story behind it – that marker of individual or shared meaning that creates value. Her surroundings provide continual inspiration and materials for her work, from the things she finds on the ground to architecture and the landscape. She has participated in over 65 exhibitions in Australia and overseas since 1997, and produces a small range of production jewellery inspired by inspired by textiles, wallpaper patterns and architectural details which is sold through several contemporary craft and jewellery galleries around Australia.

Melinda has a Bachelor of Visual Arts with Honours and Master of Visual Arts from Sydney College of the Arts and recently completed a Graduate Diploma of Vocational education and Training. She has also participated in numerous workshops and master classes. Since 2000, Melinda has taught jewellery at many different places including the College of Fine Arts, Sydney College of the Arts and at Community Colleges in Sydney and overseas in the United Arab Emirates. Melinda has also curated and co-ordinated numerous contemporary jewellery exhibitions and has written about jewellery and craft practice for various publications. Having worked at the contemporary craft gallery Quadrivium for four years and for two years until 2006 as Gallery Supervisor for Object, Australian Centre for Craft and Design, Melinda now teaches full time in the Jewellery and Object Design Department at the Design Centre Enmore.

Artist Statement

I have an interest in graphic design so colour, pattern, and repetition are design elements that I often refer to in my work. Over the past few years I have researched and experimented with titanium anodising using a variety of “masks” and “resists” in order to be able to produce controlled colour on a titanium surface.

Titanium was first utilised by the aerospace industry because of its high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability. Today, titanium is used in a wide variety of products including bike frames, golf clubs, laptop computer cases, heart valves, eyeglass frames and watch bands. I use titanium because it is lightweight, it can be coloured & is non-allergenic which altogether makes it an ideal metal for use in jewellery.
