    Press Release: Wednesday 12 May 2021 Leading UK contemporary visual arts institutions and art schools unite against proposed government cuts to arts education ● Directors of BALTIC, Hayward Gallery, MiMA, Serpentine, Tate, The Slade, Central St. Martin’s and Goldsmiths among over 300 signatories of open letter to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson opposing 50% cuts in subsidy support to arts subjects in higher education ● The letter is part of the nationwide #ArtIsEssential campaign to demonstrate the essential value of the visual arts This morning, the UK’s Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN) have brought together leaders from across the visual arts sector including arts institutions, art schools, galleries and universities across the country, to issue an open letter to Gavin Williamson, the Secretary of State for Education asking him to revoke his proposed 50% cuts in subsidy support to arts subjects across higher education. Following the closure of the consultation on this proposed move on Thursday 6th May, the Government has until mid-June to come to a decision on the future of funding for the arts in higher education – and the sector aims to remind them not only of the critical value of the arts to the UK’s economy, but the essential role they play in the long term cultural infrastructure, creative ambition and wellbeing of the nation. Working in partnership with the UK’s Visual Arts Alliance (VAA) and London Art School Alliance (LASA) to galvanise the sector in their united response, the CVAN’s open letter emphasises that art is essential to the growth of the country.

  • Anastasia Young
    Anastasia Young Jeweller, Hand Engraver and Writer Email: [email protected] Interviewed by Lucy Moseley March 2013 Early life and learning: Anastasia was born in 1976, in Stirling, Scotland. She had no early awareness of hand engraving but was privy to arts and crafts in general enjoying art at school as well as crafts like quilting, knitting, and lacemaking. She took up hand engraving so that she could create certain designs on jewellery she was making. She had been etching numbers on a piece and thought it would be better to engrave them and so she set about learning how to do so. Anastasia learnt to engrave by taking a three day short course at Holts Academy of Jewellery which was run by Emmet Smith, who himself was taught by Ray Wilkins at R H Wilkins. Career: Anastasia started her career with a degree in Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design graduating in 2001. Between 2002 and 2004 she completed an MA in Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork and Jewellery at the Royal College of Art. She then moved into teaching in London at places including Central Saint Martins and Morley College. Alongside teaching she has written books for Quarto Publishing and set up her own business making and selling jewellery. Several of her jewellery pieces are engraved. She tends to engrave on silver and sometimes on gold. She engraves her own work often with numbers and sometimes with initials. Anastasia feels that engraving adds a traditional element to her modern contemporary style of jewellery design.
