Meet an OCAD U student:
“Hi! My name is Christina van Putten (She/her) and I am a 4th year Material Art & Design Student, specializing in jewellery making and metal smithing.
While I primarily work with metal, I have an affinity for mixed media and love experimenting with different materials.
“Glaze Drop Earrings” (2022) 925 Sterling silver, glaze drop cabochons. Incl. thrown ceramic mug, MCS clay). Photo by the artist.
Over the past four years, I wanted to gain experience in as many of OCADU’s studios as possible, including: woodshop, plastics/rapid prototyping, metal shop, textiles, ceramics, jewellery and printmaking. A lot of my current work follows a sustainability initiative, specifically my Glaze drop gemstone collection.

Post graduation, I am looking forward to discovering opportunities within the product/industrial design realm as I never want to stop creating!”
