Information to decide
This course consists of two modules, alternating between practical lessons and visits to studios, museums, and art venues. In the first module, students will visit China’s significant historical sites, such as the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Terracotta Army in Xi'an. Guided by instructors, they will explore these cultural treasures through drawing, photography, and interpretation. The second module offers hands-on practice in a state-of-the-art goldsmith lab, where students can specialize in wax jewelry making, goldsmith techniques, or jewelry illustration. At the end, students will present their portfolios and reflect on their learning experiences and personal growth.
The course is designed for students who are interested in jewelry design and have not yet gained any relevant experiences or academic backgrounds.
China has a jewelry tradition that dates back to the eighth century BC, tracing its roots to ancient dynasties like the Han and Shang, and continuing to the present day, enriched by generations of goldsmiths’ experience and design expertise. This treasure of knowledge is waiting for you here. If you choose to take your program in China, you will have the opportunity to explore the city up close.
