 Return to: Colleges, Departments, and Programs
Jewelry/Metals offers a comprehensive and diverse understanding of the technical and aesthetic potential of metal. Earlier studies feature skills for metal fabrication, construction, forming and surface treatment; while later, more advanced studies explore such techniques as forging, casting, stonesetting, chasing/repousée, holloware, enameling, and die-forming. As students gain technical skills, they are encouraged to grow in expressive ability and to strive toward professionalism. https://www.umassd.edu/programs/jewelry-metals/
