Jewellery & Metal Design

Introduction

The Jewellery & Metal Design course at Duncan of Jordanstone aims to provide an intellectual and creative stimulus which encourages debate concerning aspects of perception and aesthetics; to create an awareness of the social and historical context of jewellery and metal design; to encourage innovation and excellence. We will encourage you to use your drawing skills to develop your ideas and will give you the confidence to expand your creative thoughts about jewellery, fashion and small products. The course will teach you about the history of jewellery and metal design while also making you aware of current design trends. You will use our workshops to learn about new materials and techniques and will develop your own unique personal working philosophy and style.

At the end of the course you will be able to:

• confidently and creatively use a wide variety of materials
• use workshops to design individual jewellery, fashion and small products
• use the skills you have gained throughout the course to develop your own unique style
