This is a project-oriented course that will extend students technical, material and conceptual skills. This course delivers an approach to design as a systematic development to a given or self initiated problem. The focus is on design as a process of cenceptual development, rather than design for industry. Students devise individual responses to two set themes to develop their ability to apply techniques appropriate to particular concepts. In addition, an individual work proposal is developed applying critical thinking and innovation to a broad range of materials, techniques and concepts. Students will be introduced to digitally-controlled manufacturing processes. A program of studio theory is undertaken to examine the historical and contemporary contexts of gold and silversmithing. Occupational health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.
