In this course we will use jewelry and metalwork as a guild to examine the relationship between objects and the body.We will be using the body as a site for object making. Starting with the finger, we will use traditional techniques to make basic and advanced rings. Rings hold and convey memory, emotion, history, and status. We will use the power that rings can carry as research and a guild to our designs. We will then move on to other sites of the body for object making, By exploring these sites, their possible meanings, and their historical relationships with objects we will create new works. This course will help students develop their home studios into a space  where they can make traditional and experimental jewelry and small scale metal work. We will develop technical skills of soldering, forming,  finishing, and basic tool making using metal and other materials. Online course sections will be delivered with both asynchronous and synchronous components as outlined in the course syllabus. Required online synchronous meeting times are listed as the meeting pattern for this course section.
