Introduction to Jewellery Design

Both Traditional and Digital jewellery design are crucial assets for modern artists. While the former offers an opportunity to find the right inspiration and quickly put on paper creative ideas, the latter lays the building blocks for mass production - combined with 3D printing - as well as offering incredibly photo-realistic previews of the jewels in the making.

Introduction to Precious Metal Arts

Metalsmithing is an art perfected over thousands of years. At JDMIS we teach traditional metalsmithing (MS) with the latest tools and techniques. We also conduct programs specialised in the use of metal clay (NM), a malleable mixture of pure metal and organic binder. Combining metal clay and metalsmithing allows a jewellery manufacturer to cover a large spectrum of jewellery production to address the needs of the modern market .
