Introduction: Jewellery And Small Objects
Course Outline
The primary aim of this course is to introduce students to the techniques and studio processes for contemporary jewellery and small object making using precious and non precious materials. Areas covered will include sawing, filing, soldering, annealing, chain making, riveting, etching, rolling mill use including roller impressing, hydraulic press use and polishing. Students will be encouraged to trial each technique and process to develop a series of samples documenting their progress. The course will also allow time and guidance for students to make finished works employing their newly acquired skills.
Required Materials
Students are advised to budget at least $150 for the purchase of materials. Metals and other materials required will vary depending on individual design concepts and teaching staff can be consulted for advice regarding this. Some basic materials will be provided to get each student started. Studios have all large equipment and tools available for use. There are a limited number of hand tool kits available, but students are requested to bring any hand tools they might already have.
