Description
The Year One Capstone Project allows students to synthesize theory, techniques and knowledge acquired throughout the First Year to design a small, cohesive collection of jewellery for display in the Year-End Exhibition. The focus will be on independent work as students spend five full weeks in the workshop preparing the collection of jewellery they have designed in JADE 1125 Design 1. In consultation with faculty, each student will select materials, techniques and methods appropriate to their collection. Students will also design a display to complement their jewellery.
