The BDes (Hons) Design (Product, Ceramics, Silversmithing & Jewellery) Degree Show celebrates the work of graduating students from the Product Design, Ceramic Design, Silversmithing & Jewellery pathways at Belfast School of Art. This exhibition brings together a diverse collection of outcomes, reflecting a strong culture of innovation, material exploration and critical design thinking.

Across the pathways, students have developed innovative responses to contemporary issues, producing objects that are conceptually rich and materially grounded. The work on display encompasses product design, furniture, lighting, ceramic design, jewellery and metalwork, demonstrating a deep engagement with process, form and function.

Rooted in making, the exhibition highlights how ideas are shaped through hands-on experimentation and refined through technical skill. From speculative designs to functional artefacts, each piece reveals a personal approach to design and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of their chosen medium.

The degree show offers a glimpse into the future of design, where tradition meets experimentation, and where making remains central to innovation.
