About the course

Metals courses focus on the direct study of sculptural processes and expression through non-ferrous metals such as brass, copper, and silver which have great expressive potential due to their malleability, durability, value, and aesthetic properties.

　　Students explore the technical, aesthetic, and conceptual aspects of contemporary metalsmithing while developing professional skills through hands-on work, technical demonstrations, critiques, and exploration of historical and contemporary practice. Students develop their designs and concepts through a range of traditional and non-traditional techniques.

　　Small metals and adornment such as jewelry operates on many different levels?symbol, art object, fashion accessory, social indicator. In addition, such pieces represent a significant means of human communication through embodiments of personal identity. It sends signals of intent, and the act of adorning the body is a performative act. Jewelry at SMFA examines the relationship between the body, personal ornament, and the audience through examination of historical and contemporary concepts and the technical skills required to produce wearable art.
