Jewelry & Metalsmithing

In development of objects and wearables, our program focuses on qualities unique to Metalsmithing as a craft practice. Students gain an understanding of the discipline, its conditions, possibilities and limitations, while allowing for multiple traditional and experimental processes and approaches.

Students are encouraged to develop their own creative vision exploring their ideas in metal and other materials. With an understanding of the field, students are able to test its boundaries and draw on what a craft discipline has to offer in pursuing their ideas that cross over into other disciplines. The program’s goal is to prepare students for professional work as artists, metalsmiths and jewelers as well as graduate studies.
