A group of jewellery students from across London have made a film with digital:works focusing on the fascinating, hidden history of Hatton Garden in Central London. This area has been the centre of London's jewellery trade since the 18th century. The participants have learnt about this history through a short series of talks and walks through the area before going on to meet the many crafts men and women working in the maze of workshops and shops in the area, many dating back several generations.

The students visited many establishments in and around Hatton Garden and were able to get close to the skills and artistry displayed in the dusty workshops there.
