Studio Unbound III, happened at Duncan of Jordanstone in Dundee, earlier this month. Lauren Currie co-presented alongside Kate Pickering, known as @Katesjewellery online. We were also joined by Service Designer Sarah Drummond who shared her experience of social media via Skype. Kate Pickering is a forward thinking jeweller and a wonderful friend of ours. She has very openly shared her feelings about her first encounter with Studio Unbound and shared how her perception of networking online has changed…an amazing example of a jeweller from a traditional discipline is embracing what Studio Unbound stands for.

Here are a few photos of the Studio Unbound’s Sarah Drummond and Lauren Currie presenting a lecture at Glasgow School of Art this week. The evening was a great success and already we’ve had an incredible feedback, so thank you to everyone who participated both on and offline this week. Personal thanks to Kate Pickering for live tweeting from the audience and James Porteous for taking these fantastic snaps! More coverage and knowledge sharing coming very soon!
Closing thought from Quentin Hardy this month:
“There are too many social networks, too many styles of discovery, commenting, sharing and all the other aspects of participation. People are fatigued by choice. All is made worthwhile by finding a group that is as passionate about some specific area of your life as you are.”
So, where to begin and who to follow? For Studio Unbound I’m pleased to offer you a glimpse at some designers, studios and organisations using twitter. Of course not all of these will interest everyone, however – keep your eye on the page; Design on Twitter.
As this resource evolves and we select some of the best people to ‘follow’ on twitter, we will break down the list into specific categories to better help you navigate your way to the right people! To do this, let us know what you are interested in and looking for.
