Taijun Deng
I come from China; China doesn’t have any jewellery craft courses. I love the sea, so I chose a college near the sea. Glass was my first choice, but when I did jewellery I thought ‘Wow!’ and changed my mind. I intend to start my own jewellery company in China. In fact I’ve already started selling my work through my website, and I’m going to show work at New Designers in London in the summer.
