Bachelor’s programme in Jewellery and Corpus: Ädellab
180 credits, full-time studies, daytime
Jewellery and corpus have a long tradition within the field of crafts. At this programme you will develop a deep and distinctive understanding of these areas, which are rooted in gold- and silversmithing. Today, we work with a diverse range of materials – from metals to silicone and plastic. Through an exploration of history, contemporary expressions, materials, techniques, and artistic process, you can become the next link in Konstfack’s chain of jewellery and corpus artists and craftspeople.
We put great emphasis on the learning process and your individual development. We encourage our students to experiment with form, materials, techniques, etc. and to critically explore their own positioning in relation to the subject area and to society at large. We have highly qualified teachers who themselves work in the fields of jewellery and corpus. The teachers will be your supervisors through the entire education. As part of your studies, we offer courses based on making, theory and critical thinking. You will acquire the tools to develop your own work and immerse yourself in the content and process of artistic creation.
You will have access to well-equipped workshops where you will be given the training in response to the needs presented by your own projects. An exploratory method of working is developed and sustained through projects, workshops, seminars and exhibitions. To ensure that you will become aware of and be inspired by the possibilities offered by our subjects all over the world, the programme has an explicitly international perspective.
