Working with the Wallace Collection you will have the opportunity to explore the fascinaitng objects held in their collections to help you generate new ideas and ways of working. Through a series of research and design exercises the course will teach you to develop, design and make jewellery sympathetic in ethos, material or technique to the collection. You will learn about designing and making in a museum context, and how to work to a set brief and deadlines; and you'll finish the course with a unique body of work on which you can draw for your ongoing designing and making. Working alongside other jewellers, you will help each other with peer discussions on contemporary making, and by critiquing each other's work. There will be both offsite visits to the museum and studio time in the Jewellery Workshop at City Lit.
