Implementation and methods of teaching

In jewellery basics, you will learn to work with a variety of tools, materials and techniques that can be applied in a wide range of contexts.

Alongside technical work, the emphasis is on producing content. You will learn about jewellery techniques through material experiments, discussions, writing, lectures and short daily or weekly assignments.

Workshop work in jewellery art:

Introduction to the basic tools of the jewellery workshop, hammering, filing, sanding, leaf sawing, soldering, handling different materials in a safe way, the right tool in the right place.

Material experiments:

What it's like to sculpt soap or mould cardboard, how to use what you already have, how to make a new material, combining material and content in a work, creating a shape by removing or adding material

Writing/learning diary:

Students will explore jewellery makers and content through an assigned task and reflect on what they have learned in the course in writing

Lectures:

During the course, the teacher will give lectures on both domestic and foreign jewellery artists and phenomena.

Expression through jewellery:

At the end of the course, the student will carry out his/her own jewellery art project, in which the content and presentation will apply the lessons learnt during the course, making use of what has been learnt previously.

The debate:

teacher-led group discussion of the daily and weekly assignments, going through each student's experiments and ideas, final discussion at the end of the course
