Metal Art/Jewelry Course
Over the course of the year you will have the opportunity to create and make individualized pieces that are a reflection of you. All projects have a base set of techniques that you will learn and transform into your own designs and creations. This is not a cookie cutter course where everyone makes the exact same project.
You will be creating a fake/real website to market your creations over the year to setup your own online business to sell/pretend that you are marketing your products. This is essential a portfolio piece that you will be able to share with friends, family, and future employeers
You will be expected to do your own research for some specific projects.
-this may include researching a real world jewelry artist and trying to emulate their work with your own project
Most supplies will be provided in class but many things you will have to source yourself for some higher level or expensive products.
