Bachelor of Fine Arts - Jewellery Design and Metalsmithing

The fields of Jewellery Design and Metalsmithing are experiencing a renaissance of diverse creative approaches. You will explore a wide variety of concepts and philosophies as you engage in critical discussions about content and form in order to create a new language of metal. The program offers a broadly based metals education including studies of art jewellery, holloware, product design, and metal business practice.

Design and technical projects emphasize problem-solving, conceptual development, and analytical thinking. From basic skills development, you will go on to explore advanced technical procedures and develop your 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.
