About
Dixin Zheng is a metalsmith & jewellery designer based in London. Graduated from the Central Saint Martins and recently studying MA Jewellery and Metal at Royal College of Art, Dixin’s works not only have formal closeness to sculptures but also express the poetry of mundane life. Dixin elaborates on the surroundings she observed through her works, allowing audiences to perceive and resonate by touching or wearing her jewellery. Her works have also won the bronze award for 3D Design Conceptual Jewellery in the 2023 Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Council Competition, exhibited at Munich Jewellery Week 2023 and London Design Week 2023. Her recent project explores the themes of perception, interaction, time, space, movement, and objects that attach to people’s bodies.
As a jewellery designer and maker, Dixin Zheng has developed proficiency in various silversmithing techniques and modern approaches, including forging, Chasing and Repoussé, laser welding, and 3D modelling. Interested in learning traditional techniques and using personal explorations to achieve them, Dixin’s recent project, ‘A Crack in Everything’, explores the possibilities of combining cracked eggshells with undulating metal surfaces. Drawing inspiration from observing and perceiving subtle details and materials in daily life, Dixin views her works as small sculptures or objects that can attach to people’s bodies. Her ultimate goal is to continue evolving as a craftsperson and contributing meaningfully to the craft community.
