Prerequisite: Grade of “B” or better in Jewelry and Metals 1. This course involves advanced techniques for hand building and lost wax casting. Advanced hand building techniques will involve multiple plate construction, surface manipulation and stone setting. The introduction to lost wax casting will center on functional as well as decorative constructions. Student emphasis will focus on the fusion of both techniques, to design and execute student work that is either functional or sculptural, and highly original and creative. A studio fee of $45.00 is required at the beginning of the course to help defray the cost of sterling silver as the main building material.
