This course focuses on jewellery as contemporary wearables utilising the materials, techniques and processes of jewellery to challenge the relationships between wearables and the body. It encourages experimentation and examines the possibilities and contexts that inform the design and production of jewellery pieces. The studio program ranges across traditional, contemporary and new technologies and supports diverse outcomes – from 'one-off' objects to small-scale studio production. Practical work is contextualised by consideration of the material, cultural, theoretical and historical issues that frame contemporary jewellery practice.
