JWD205 Applied Practice and Processes (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Design and Visual Production (DSVIS)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
In this subject, students are required to extend and refine their knowledge of core manufacturing processes, to design and produce more complex settings and advanced approaches to ring construction and related jewellery forms. Students are expected to address more challenging and innovative design problems from initial conceptual stage via CAD to final realisations. In addition, this subject includes an introduction to gemmology as relevant to jewellery manufacture.
