This project-oriented course 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 conceptual development in addition to its role in industry. Students will devise individual responses to set themes to develop their ability to apply techniques appropriate to particular concepts. An individual work proposal is developed and students will apply 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. 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 that engages with the 'Series or the edition object'. Odd years will develop a response to the theme of the 'Gift or commemorative object'.
