In this course design practice integrates conceptual exploration with technical knowledge and material investigations applied to jewellery and object design. Projects address stages of the design process, critical analysis, research, problem solving and design development and culminate in the fabrication of design solutions for wearable or body related objects. This course develops students' understanding of jewellery practice through investigations of materials and jewellery processes. In practical terms, students will examine the technology of metal and its translation through heat into three-dimensional forms. The techniques of soldering, casting, hydraulic forming and fabrication will be explored using both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, to translate design drawings and models into three-dimensional jewellery objects, both wearable and non-wearable.
