ARTWS 286B - Metalsmithing 2

1 or 2 credits

This is a continuation of Metalsmithing I. Using the technical knowledge acquired during the first level of this course, students continue their exploration of making contemporary and traditional vessels, flatware, and small-scale sculpture. The experiences covered on this level include a further refinement of the techniques involved in forging, raising, sinking, and stretching various precious and semi-precious metals. A more advanced level of workmanship, performance and pre-planning and design is required of students taking this studio on the second level.
