Do you have a special object you’d like to turn into a piece of jewellery? Whether it’s a small stone or a large fragment of material, we can find a way to make it wearable. In this course, you come with your object(s), a rough design idea, and work with the instructor to bring your vision to life. Through these independent projects, you will learn about different types of object treatments, ways to connect objects to different materials, and how to transform nonfunctional objects into beautiful pieces of body adornment.
