Jewelry Metalsmithing Studio encourages students to examine metal as a creative medium. Students will learn basic metalsmithing techniques including soldering, piercing, riveting, forming, stone setting and enameling. These techniques will be used to create original designs. Projects will include wearable, sculptural and/or functional objects such as rings, pendants, and containers. Project designs will be inspired through research including field trips to exhibitions.

Jewelry Metalsmithing Extended Study allows highly motivated Jewelry students the opportunity to pursue more complex pieces and more advanced techniques. Each student will complete an individual contract detailing expectations and focus of the studies.
