You are joining a dynamic community of artists, designers and performers. Central Saint Martins offers one of the most diverse and comprehensive ranges of creative education degrees in the country, while University of the Arts London offers the largest grouping of specialist arts, design and communication programmes in Europe. Just this year, UAL was named in the most authoritative rankings as the second-best place in the world to study art and design. Central Saint Martins is established as a key cultural institution on the national and international stage. Last year we hosted over 600 public facing events; my advice is to look out for all the events going on outside your curriculum. These are advertised on our website, on our weekly newsletter, on posters and screens around the College and on our social media channels – they are an important part of your overall experience as a student here, and provide an unparalleled cultural context for the rest of your studies. The campus at King’s Cross encourages open debate and communication. We work closely with the Students’ Union to develop a sense of community within the building, and I encourage you to get involved with these wider activities, through course committees and other events. I hope you have a great first year and beyond. But, if things are going wrong with your course, let us know sooner rather than later. If you have suggestions as to how the College could get better, please tell us. If things are going well, tell us. It is only by working together that we can keep developing Central Saint Martins as one of the best places in the world to study art, design and performance. Although Central Saint Martins and UAL are rightly proud of their famous graduates, I always say that we are only as good as our last show. It is the work of our current students that shows where we are heading as a leading creative institution. This means you! I look forward to seeing what you produce as part of the next generation of artists, designers and performers.

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.
