This course provides students with a comprehensive introduction to foundational knowledge and processes that underpin contemporary jewellery and object making. A series of demonstrations and engaging practical exercises establish the students’ knowledge and competence with hand tools, materials, processes and machinery. Studio theory is thoughtfully integrated into this practical course to establish awareness of key historical and theoretical backgrounds of jewellery and object making. Workplace Health and Safety instruction is an integral part of this course.
130 hours of total student learning time made up from: a) 48 hours of contact over 12 weeks: lectures, tutorials, critiques and supervised studio practice; and b) 82 hours of independent studio practice, reading and writing.
