We're thrilled to invite you to PILOT’s launch lecture with renowned jeweller and designer, Shaun Leane, on Thursday 24th October at the Ulster Museum!
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the most influential figures in contemporary jewellery design. Shaun Leane was the lead judge on the hit show All That Glitters, but his illustrious career spans decades. After completing an intensive seven-year training as a goldsmith in Hatton Garden, Shaun went on to forge his own path as a trailblazing design-led jeweller. Leane's ground-breaking collaborations with iconic fashion houses, including Alexander McQueen and Givenchy, have redefined the boundaries of jewellery design. With so many facets to his career, this talk will explore a range of topics—from designing with vision and the art of collaboration, to navigating the jewellery business.
Whether you’re a jeweller, a designer, or simply someone with a passion for creativity, you won’t want to miss this inspiring event!
