ECA Student Jewellery Making and Ideas Exchange

Calling all students! We want to hear from you...

Join us for tea, coffee and biscuits for an interactive Student Ideas Exchange where you'll get to discover the upcoming year's exhibition programme and help shape the student engagement programme at the gallery while making jewellery inpired by Anne Hardy's exhibition.

Using wire and found objects, we’ll get creative and take inspiration from the current exhibition, exploring how everyday materials can be transformed into something unexpected and meaningful. Feel free to bring along your own found objects—such as seashells, rocks, buttons, bolts, and anything else you might discover!

Share your ideas and insights on what events and activities would make you feel engaged and excited. From workshops and performances to talks and more, we want to know what you'd love to see happen in the gallery.

By joining the conversation, you'll be helping to create a student engagement programme that's tailored to your needs and interests. This is your chance to make your voice heard and help shape the future of your gallery.

Additional resources to make your experience more comfortable:

• A visual storyboard is available to anticipate your travels to the gallery and your experience during the exhibition.
• A sensory map of the gallery is available, designed to highlight elements of the space which may impact your sensory experience of the gallery.
