INTRODUCTION This portfolio has been created for presenting my works towards a Master Degree in Jewellery and Metalwork at Sheffield Hallam University, England. Contents are divided into 2 projects: 1. Design featuring the city and 2. Jewellery from reclaimed materials.

As a part of my design research, I have illustrated a part of the idea development in each project.

I hope that it could be useful to demonstrate my skills of jewellery making and design.

JEWELLERY WORKSHOP IN LOCAL CHARITY As a part of my MA Project in Sheffield Hallam University, I started to be a volunteer for TimeBuilders, local charity in Sheffield since February 2017. I have an opportunity to be an assistant teacher for The Jewellery and Card Making to teach the participants who are living with disability issues and mental health. Then I conducted my own workshop, I was called Jewellery handmade from recycled materials. After finishing the workshop, I collected the participant’s works to exhibit in the fair and store for selling their works. All of the proceed, I have donated to TimeBuilders to conduct the next workshop as a sustainable project.
