3DML208 Casting Intensive for Jewelers 3cr.
With the eyes and hands of a jeweler this course investigates various casting techniques. The
class incorporates both ancient methods and contemporary practices of casting multiples with
non-ferrous metals including bronze, silver and gold. Students are required to create specific
samples and finished pieces that use the techniques taught. Students are also required to
research examples of cast jewelry found in many diverse cultures as they develop their own ideas
through non-jewelry research and observation. Safety practices are incorporated and practiced
throughout the course. Importance is placed on wearibilty, craftsmanship, respect for safety and
idea development. This course is open to all levels.

3DML307 Color & Concept 3CR
Color is a powerful means of expression for
artists. This course, designed for advanced level
students, is an in-depth exploration of
innovative options for the use of color within a
jewelry and metal working practice. It addresses
both conceptual as well as practical application
of color. Students research and discuss the
concepts surrounding and psychological meaning of
colors with the goal of encouraging the
development of a personal palette and its
application to individual
projects.
Demonstrations cover traditional surface
treatments such as patinas, painting and
enameling as well as the application of resins
and powder coating. Students learn how to work
with synthetic materials like Acrylic and Nylon
and dyes to color them. Equal emphasis is placed
on gaining technical proficiency and on
individual experimentation.
Upon completing this course, students make a
specific body of work of jewelry and/or objects
that exhibit an understanding of the application
of color both conceptually and through process.
Co-requisites: 3DML-200 0R 3DML-210 OR Permission of the Instructor
