About Elizabeth

Dr Elizabeth Shaw is a Senior Lecturer at the Queensland College of Art and Design, Griffith University, within the Arts, Education and Law group. She serves as Program Director for the Graduate Certificate in Visual Arts and Master of Visual Arts, and as Convenor of Jewellery and Small Objects. Her professional practice as a contemporary jeweller and metalsmith centres on ethical and environmental concerns, exploring the social and cultural values, meanings, and roles associated with objects of material culture. Shaw exhibits, curates, and writes regularly, addressing topics such as the aesthetic of repair, honesty in materials, reuse of metals, and the significance of handmade objects in contemporary society. She maintains a solar-powered studio utilising hand tools and 100% recycled materials, often repurposing discarded and broken items to challenge cultural material priorities through collaborative initiatives and material culture theory.
