In All Forms is planned and presented by the Melbourne Polytechnic Advanced Diploma of Object and Jewellery Design graduating students.
I wish to congratulate the Advanced Diploma of Jewellery and Object Design graduating class of 2023!
The work they are showcasing in this exhibition is a culmination of the skills they have acquired in the last two years. It is a true testament to their talent and hard work, and commitment to equipping themselves with the skills and knowledge to shine in the world of jewellery and object making.
Throughout their student journey, I have had the pleasure of teaching this group of graduates and have personally witnessed their dedication, creativity, and passion for the art of making jewellery and objects. Their journey hasn't been without its challenges, but as a group, they have shown the resilience needed to face these challenges revealing the variety of skills, concepts and technical competencies you see in their exhibition work.
24 students are graduating this year - their graduate exhibition marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives. As they step into the jewellery industry, I have no doubt that they will continue to excel. I remind our students that success is a journey, not a destination, and encourage them to keep pushing the boundaries of their creativity, continue to learn and grow, and never stop pursuing their dreams.
Once again, congratulations on this incredible achievement! I wish them all the success and happiness as they embark on this exciting new adventure.
