Our Stepping Stones/Preparation for Progression course student Shannon Besant had recently been to Ortak Jewellery for a work placement.
She spent 2 weeks in the graphic design department.
Shannon said;
... "I managed to complete all the tasks given with relative ease.
I was asked to design a bespoke piece of jewellery, I chose to design a Norse themed ring. After my sketch of the concept was scanned onto the computer, I got to see the design of the ring being put together, being cut from a block of wax and after it was casted, it is now a physical ring that I am able to keep."
It was very kind that her supervisor Magnus let Shannon keep the ring she designed.
