• The metalsmithing facilities support a wide range technical possibilities within blacksmithing, hollowware, jewelry, and 3-d modeling.
  • Students are encouraged to develop standards for judgment, which are not only rigorous to the discipline but also cut across disciplinary boundaries.
  • Through readings, special exhibitions, visiting lectures and workshops students are exposed to national and international currents of thought and new approaches to the material.
  • Critiques and discussion of both critical theory and topical issues are used in an open-ended search for understanding current directions within contemporary metalsmithing.
