The first half of this course will emphasize further development of small-scale metal techniques, with emphasis on fabrication concepts and skills. Structure, format, and mechanisms will be considered in both their functional and formal roles. Surface treatments, including etching, mixed metals and coloration will be explored. The integration of concept and process will be stressed. The second half of this course is focused on deepening students’ connection to their personal voice and how to seek/uncover subject matter, and develop advanced technical skills (stone setting, advanced soldering, professional finishing and more). Projects will support professional verbal communication and emphasize follow through. Students will examine and share cultural identities allowing them to simultaneously broaden their understanding of themselves and the world(s) around them and how to use this knowledge to make work.
