The Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major in Jewellery Design and Metalsmithing program offers students opportunities to explore the media and practices of jewellery and hollowware while engaging in critical discussions about content and form. The program offers a broad-based metals education, including studies of art jewellery, hollowware, product design and metal business practice. After developing basic technical skills, you will move on to more advanced technical procedures and carve out your own individual artistic practice.
Some graduates of NSCAD’s jewellery design and metalsmithing program establish successful art jewellery studio practices, while others develop commercial jewellery businesses. Many have pursued graduate studies and have become writers, critics, curators and professors at colleges/universities.
