DiplomaJewellery/Metal Arts

Jewellery/Metal Arts is a two-year studio-based Diploma program that can be completed in four semesters of study. The program enables students to learn skills that transform metal into functional and non-functional objects. It provides intensive skill development by introducing students to sawing, filing, soldering, riveting and stone-setting. Students use Computer-Assisted Design (CAD), mould-making and casting technologies to experiment in making multiple designs. Through advanced processes such as complex construction, forging and silversmithing, they establish an individual artistic practice. Through applied research, critical discourse and self-reflection, students engage in experimentation and creative problem solving. They learn about written and visual communications for artists and entrepreneurs, art history, drawing and 2D/3D design. They create a portfolio that celebrates the power of the imagination and can be used to launch their career.
