In this course, students investigate existing design practice extending their capacity to integrate technical knowledge and skills with material and conceptual issues in the jewellery design domain. Projects address the conceptual, material and technical understandings of jewellery and object design, applying a design process that involves critical analysis, research, problem solving and design development to more complex formal and fabrication issues. This course focuses students on a thorough examination of the body as the format or site for design solutions, allowing for experimentation and the development of an understanding of techniques such as advanced fabrication, repousse, anodising, use of the lathe, and research and experimentation with a variety of non-metal materials and processes. Studio activity combines the development of one-off designs and multiple production of jewellery objects.
