Jewelry & Metals

SHINE BRIGHT

We focus on technical development so you have a clear understanding of concepts and forms. You’ll examine historical and contemporary metalwork, participate in workshops and listen to visiting lectures by metalsmithing professionals. Your projects will require you to problem-solve and build a finished piece while making decisions about the fabrication process and anticipating problems before they arise.
