Description
In this introductory jewellery course students investigate contemporary jewellery design practice and acquire technical knowledge and skills with material and conceptual issues. Designs will be realised as finished objects through both hand fabrication and prototyping of jewellery works. Projects will address the conceptual, material and technical understandings of Jewellery and Object Design employing analysis, research, problem-solving and design development to produce design solutions. In this course particular attention is paid to the dialogue between new technologies and traditional craft skills in the design and production of Jewellery and Objects.
Students will study one project over the entire semester with three assessment tasks and will work between the jewellery studio, and computer lab at different stages in order to realise the project.
