FAS488 Jewelry Design

[2–2, 3 cr.]

This course offers an in-depth exploration of contemporary jewelry design as an art form and expressive medium. The course explores the experimental aspect of jewelry design as a statement tool. Students will be guided through the process of creating experimental jewelry using contemporary techniques and a diverse range of materials. The course emphasizes the creative potential of non-traditional materials, such as resin, acrylic, fabric, and found objects, challenging conventional notions of preciousness in jewelry. Through hands-on projects and critical discussions, the course aims to equip students with the technical skills, design principles, and conceptual frameworks needed to engage in contemporary jewelry practice and explore new avenues of creative expression.
