This second session of a two-semester course is the basis for any further jewelry explorations. In the first semester, students acquire the basic skills needed to fabricate jewelry out of nonferrous metals (copper, brass, nickel, sterling, and gold). A progression of techniques—from sawing, riveting, and soldering to bezel-stone setting—is combined with the refinement of design sensibilities and aesthetic considerations. The second semester continues the development of fabrication skills; examines the possibilities of content; and introduces additional techniques that explore texture, volume, and alternative methods of setting stones.
