The introductory level will include jewellery making techniques and processes including soldering, forming, etching, embossing etc. The course is workshop based and will involve a 'hands on' approach. Students will develop 3 dimensional language in relation to working with metals and mixed media metals. All major tools and equipment are provided by the college, however, students will need to purchase saw blades and any precious metals they wish to work with (these can be purchased from the tutor). Base metals such as copper and brass are provided by the college. Students will be expected to respond to tutor set assignment briefs, keeping a sketchbook record of inspiration and ideas development, in addition to health and safety notes. NB: once a learner has successfully completed a 10 week term, they will be given opportunity to enrol for a further 10 weeks in the next term (subject to demand).
