Students are required to identify a gold and silversmithing process/processes as a focus for their project. Their project will respond to set themes that challenge and develop their ability to articulately use processes to express ideas. Studio theory is undertaken to examine and situate the students’ work within the historical and contemporary contexts of gold and silversmithing. Workplace health and safety (WHS) instruction is an integral part of this course.
