3DML200 Jewelry 3 cr.
An introduction to basic issues and techniques unique to jewelry as a creative and expressive medium. Students discuss traditional and contemporary attitudes toward body adornment and learn the techniques of basic fabrication (cold-joining, sawing, soldering, finishing), lost-wax casting, and stone-setting. Projects use precious metals and common materials. Proper use and maintenance of all equipment is stressed.

3DML206 Tech for Pattern and Multiples 3cr.
This course includes a series of design and
technique based lectures, hands-on assignments,
and technical instruction that cover the
fundamentals of image manipulation, illustration,
vector graphics, layering, and graphic editing on
the computer.
These are directed toward cutting, folding,
scoring and assembling paper and flexible
materials for experimental wearable art using
multiple cut forms.
Students will be encouraged to identify sources
of their work and use these inspirations as a
basis for completing design problems assigned
throughout the semester

3DML222 Molding, Multiples & Production 3 cr.
This course covers methods and strategies for making multiples for jewelry-scale metal objects. These include Vulcanized and RTV rubber molding for injection wax; production methods for lost wax casting; hydraulic and arbor press methods for cutting blanks and pressing 3 dimensional forms; stamping dies (RT method) for cutting multiple shapes; chemical milling (etching from both sides) for cutting complex shapes, jigs and fixtures for repeatable operations (drilling, soldering, shaping); assembly techniques including soldering and cold-connecting. Finishing techniques including tumbling with various media. Participating students will be asked to make several series of jewelry-scale objects. Each series will need to be made in at least enough quantity to provide each student in the class with an example to keep.
