This is a DESIGN course is much like The Art of Designing a Signature Jewelry Line. We’ll focus on creating a new line of jewelry. Marketing is a topic of it’s own and we will brush over that subject with a full session of discussion and an outline, keeping the main focus on the line of jewelry you will create.
Our discussions include:
- Achieving cohesion in your work.
- Discussing jewelry themes; jewelry styles through the ages; color usage; technique usage; materials, and more to help you express your voice.
- How to research, explore, experiment, and discover while releasing preconceptions and boundaries of creativity.
- Assigned Creative Development homework for interpreting these concepts in your own work.
- Studying what makes a cohesive line of jewelry through the review of living artist examples.
- A 1-session outline discussion on who you are creating this new line of jewelry for and where to find your market.
- Creating an artist statement to clarify your direction and purpose

If technical difficulties disrupt the session, make-up time shall be added to the end of the session.
