Part Time Courses

These three consecutive modules are designed to develop a student's jewellery manufacturing skills which include jewellery specific manufacturing techniques, translation drawing and prportional design elements. Studens are required to have a drawing book and purchase tools required on the tool list which is available from administration. This should amount to aproximately R900.00 for all three modules. The module pricing does not include any materials such as silver and stones. Any consumable materials must be purchased by the student.

Jewellery Manufacturing Wirework/Soldering                                                                 

Each student will be taught advanced soldering techniques and wirework translations which include chain manufacturing and filigree. This is made possible by being introduced to the basic methods of wire manufacturing and soldering. The module is aimed at students with minimal to no jewelllery knowledge. They will be transformed into knowledgeable jewellery manufacturers within this refined technical arena. Each student wil be required to utilize144 hours of workshop time to achieve this knowledge base.

Jewellery Manufacturing Shaping/Piercing                                                                             

In keeping with the progression of knowledge, this module is designed to develop a students shaping and piercing tecniques. This will be done by teaching forging repousse and other shaping and forming techniques. These jewellery manufacturing techniques will be accompanied by the technique of piercing out. Sawing and drilling are developed within the realm of three dimensional understanding. Students will be expected to develop their drawing skills within this module in order to translate design into manufactured items.

This course explores the three dimensional aspects pertaining to the drawing of jewellery using a linear three dimensional approach. The outcome is for the learner to obtain a full understanding of the technical drawing relative to three dimensional objects. As a basis the student must first develop an understanding of three dimension on a two dimensional surface.

Students are made aware of the relationship between space and form on a two dimensional surface. The objective of this course is for the learner to be competent in producing technical drawings of the jewellery that they will and have produced. The projects introduce the students to fundamental technical methodologies, creative management skills and professional practice.

The presentation of these drawings is extremely important as this forms part of the overall work. The learner is also shown how to create client, competition and manufactured presentation work. Notes will be given to assist with the process. Reading material: Techniques of Jewelry Illustration by A. Maltiello
