one year post-diploma
Certificate of Professional Achievement
This post-diploma program is a one-year
intensive study in the major areas of goldsmithing or silversmithing. The
entire curriculum is studio related.
Included in the curriculum is a major emphasis and focus on lapidary and custom stone cutting. The Goldsmithing and Silversmithing Program at Georgian College is the only full-time, jewellery-related program in North America with a lapidary component.
Traditional goldsmithing techniques are introduced in conjunction with the use of alternative materials such as titanium, niobium, plastics and wood. These techniques and materials are enthusiastically encouraged with the support of visiting artists, jewellers and metalsmiths.
