JWD206 Advanced Methodologies (8)
AbstractThis subject addresses the communicative potential of jewellery making by examining the use of alternative materials and techniques, with the majority of focus upon surface embellishment on metal and various other materials.
Students will exhibit a capacity to articulate complex themes and narratives through their design using the expanded manufacturing vocabulary available. In addition, students will be expected to independently identify and apply appropriate design and manufacturing processes to resolve a problem determined by the lecturer.
