This is a project-oriented course that extends students' technical, material and conceptual skills. This may include introduction to 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 conceptual development in addition to its role and relationship with 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. Workplace health and safety (WHS) instruction is an integral part of this course.
 
This course alternates over two years (even and odd years). Even years will explore development of work in response to the theme 'Local food'.  Odd years will develop a response to the theme 'Global consumption'.
