Fully functioning workshop with specialist tools and equipment
Located on the QCAD South Bank campus, the Jewellery and Small Objects studio is used by undergraduate and postgraduate students to create artworks for the body or small-scale objects.
The studio is a hub of activity with a community-building ethos. The J&SO student collective runs extracurricular activities and events that help students to build their networks and experience, and signifcantly contribute to the strong community culture at the Queensland College of Art and Design.
Jewellery and objects play a crucial part of individual and collective expression in all cultures. Jewellery and Small Objects at QCAD , with its unique focus on the body and small scale, enables students to investigate the interplay between the personal and public nature of arts practice. A small object is defined as something that fits through the studio door and can be worked on without upsetting others.
Studio courses focus on concept-driven projects to build bench skills, materials knowledge and technical proficiency.
