AS/A Level Jewellery

AS/A Level Jewellery

Why choose Jewellery?
Most people wear some form of personal adornment in the form of jewellery or watches for example. This course is an opportunity to design and manufacture high quality pieces in resistant materials. It is very much aimed at those students who have studied or are studying Fine Art, Graphics or Textiles who wish to gain some experience in three-dimensional work

Resources and Facilities
A well-equipped multi-media workshop with good jewellery-making facilities.
A 'clean' design room.

Teaching and Learning Styles
Pieces are designed, modelled and manufactured to a high standard.
A wide range of techniques is covered by a combination of class work, practical experiments and distance learning to enable effective design to take place..

Extra-Curricular Activities

We expect students to participate in museum/gallery visits as well as the possibility of work experience in a relevant field.

Assessment
Two units are taken at AS level: a coursework research project and a five-hour test under exam conditions.

Progression Opportunities
Many students go on to study an Art Foundation course and then a degree in a related field.
