Rowan Dean is a newly-graduated jeweller and designer-maker from East Lothian, Scotland. Working in silver and enamel, Rowan creates pieces that sit at the intersection of art, science, and technology. She works attentively; combining traditional bench skills with digital processes such as 3D scanning, 3D printing, and occasionally casting to explore texture, fragility, and the quiet details found in the natural specimens she collects. Rowan was diagnosed with autism in her late teens and chose to centre her final university project around one of her favourite spaces to relax; museums of natural history. She always loved to research topics deeply and thoroughly which, combined with her love for natural history, served her well during her final year of study. Rowan thrives in detail‑rich environments, and the clarity, repetition, and problem‑solving inherent in jewellery and enamelling align naturally with how her mind works. Rowan’s autism gives her a strong sense of focus and persistence, enabling me to explore complex techniques and material behaviours with patience and precision. As a maker, Rowan is committed to expanding the possibilities of enamel and metal through experimentation, research, and a sensitivity to detail. Her practice continues to evolve as she explores new ways of merging digital innovation with the tactile, experimental processes at the heart of jewellery.
