  • 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.
