Overview
The Metal Arts Program aims to equip the designer with the fundamental and advanced techniques needed to execute metal manipulation and crafting. Metal arts courses range from history lessons in metal arts from historic periods to contemporary trends to intensive studio courses that push designers to take their conceptual ideas and execute them into metal form. Students will be challenged to develop their creative endeavors and to explore various techniques in enameling, surface design, chasing, repousses, etching, mokume gane, and more. The Metal Arts program is recommended for those who seek entry level positions as an advanced-level jewelry designer, jewelry display professional, or jewelry business owner. .
