Advanced course in goldsmithing (18+)
This course is a continuation of the basic goldsmithing course. But anyone who has gained knowledge elsewhere in the processing of metals is also welcome. The basic techniques of goldsmithing are now supplemented by, among other things: etching, driving, chiseling and enamelling. Opportunities in this course are the free design and manufacture of various jewelery in base and precious metals and the realization of smaller utensils such as vases, chalices, oil lamps, singing bowls or salad servers. The individual guidance of the student is central to this and aims to solve technical and form-aesthetic issues. Moreover, it is possible to design contemporary jewellery, which can also be detached from classic materials and traditional techniques.
This course is suitable for English and German speakers.
