We had the pleasure of speaking with Blue Twyman (they/them), a talented student completing their first year of BAJ's BA (Hons) Jewellery Design and Production programme. baj.ac.uk/ba-hons-jewellery-design-and-production/
Blue's story is one of self-discovery and artistic evolution. They candidly share their experiences of feeling out of place in the fashion world, taking a long break to explore various creative outlets such as up-cycling clothes, playing music, and crafting small sculptures. It was through this process of exploration and experimentation that Blue found their true calling in jewellery design, a field that beautifully merges their love for fashion, art, and intricate sculptures.
In this interview, Blue discusses their inspirations, experiences as a non-binary artist in the jewellery industry, and the importance of visibility and community for LGBTQ+ creatives. They offer insights into their creative process, favourite techniques, and the valuable lessons they've learned at BAJ.
