The Goldsmiths’ Centre [GC] invites makers, designers, and creative professionals to join Creative Links: AI and Jewellery – What are the opportunities? a thought-provoking online conversation on Monday 17 November 2025 from 6pm until 8pm exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the jewellery industry.
AI is rapidly transforming the creative landscape, and jewellers are increasingly asking: how can this technology extend creative practice, support design and making, and open new doors in marketing and storytelling? This event will demystify the role of AI in jewellery and offer insight into how small businesses and independent makers can embrace its potential confidently and creatively.
Chaired by Lynne Craig, Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the Institute for Design Informatics, University of Edinburgh, the discussion brings together an expert panel of creative and technical leaders: Professor Mick Grierson, pioneering computer scientist and founder of the UK’s first Creative Deep Learning research project, MIMIC, in partnership with Google Magenta.
Toyin Laketu, fashion business and digital consultant, with over 15 years’ experience helping brands grow with clarity and confidence; and Ana Thompson, award-winning multidisciplinary designer, jeweller, and educator, known for merging traditional craftsmanship with digital innovation.
Together, they will share their experiences working with AI across design, technology, and business – examining both its potential and its challenges. Fine jeweller Ana Thompson says, “Embracing AI is about opening new creative possibilities, redefining how we imagine, design, collaborate, and produce. It enables more fluid intersections between tradition and innovation, creating opportunities for personalisation and co-creation that transform how consumers engage with jewellery and design.”
The evening will begin with an opportunity to network with fellow attendees before the discussion begins. A live Q&A session with the panellists will follow, giving participants the chance to explore how AI could support their own creative and business ambitions.
The event will take place Monday 17 November 2025 from 6pm until 8pm (UK time) online via Zoom. Tickets for this event are £7 or £10 on a pay what you can basis.
