Jewelry

The Jewelry Program at UNC presents a comprehensive study of basic and advanced techniques and processes for the creation of wearable art. Non ferrous metals are used along with semi precious stones and mixed media. In addition to wearable art, the Jewelry program addresses historical and contemporary design concepts, critical analysis and symbolism in fine art jewelry.

The Jewelry Studio is housed in the recently renovated Arts Annex. It has been design to address health and safety concerns of the metals sutdent and provides equipment for a broad spectrum of metalsmithing techniques.
