Jewellery and Small Object Design

The desire to decorate ourselves, our utensils and our living spaces has been common to all cultures since prehistoric times. In this program, students will examine this concept through discussions, demonstrations and projects which will include the use of both traditional and non-traditional processes and materials.

Throughout this course of studies, emphasis is placed on developing the high level of design and fabrication skills necessary for jewellery and small-scale metalsmithing. As familiarity with the tools and techniques is developed, students are encouraged to explore their own concepts as a means of artistic expression.
