Jewelry Design + Development
This class will focus on design strategies and how to plan and sample a collection for production. Students will work through the steps of designing and producing their own jewelry line as they build a collection in real time. Topics covered will include research, presentation, concept/design development, identifying and supporting big ideas, and refining your work so that your entire collection feels strong, supported and cohesive. Students will also learn how to create technical spec sheets and best practices for working with vendors and communicating their designs throughout the prototyping and production process.
