This is a project-oriented course that extends students technical, material and conceptual skills. This may include the introduction into the use of engineering equipment. 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 set themes to develop their ability to apply techniques appropriate to particular concepts. 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.
