Jewelry Design Lab Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED)

Overview

Rome boasts centuries of history in the field of jewelry: it spans periods ranging from the Etruscans to Roman times, all the way to the present day with the evolution of the concept of contemporary jewelry. If jewelry design is your passion and you want to spend the summer in the city of the “Grande Bellezza”, then our Summer Course in Jewelry Design Lab is the perfect choice for you. 

Methodology

Two modules are included in the Jewelry Design Lab programme from  Istituto Europeo Di Design (IED) , which alternates between practical lessons and visits to studios, museums, and art venues. During the first part of the course, you will be introduced to the basics of technical drawing while visiting Rome's most significant historical sites.

Together with your classmates, you will explore the city, drawing, photographing and interpreting everything that is presented to you under the guidance of qualified teachers.

In the second part, you will have the opportunity to try out representation techniques in our latest generation goldsmith laboratory and choose between three specialisations: Wax Jewelry making, Goldsmith techniques and Illustration techniques for jewelry.

At the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to present your portfolio and talk about your impressions and reflections on your work as well as personal growth.

Who is this for?

The course is designed for students who are interested in jewelry design and have not yet gained any relevant experiences or academic backgrounds.

Why choose it?

Rome has a tradition of jewelry starting from the eighth century -back to the Roman and Etruscan times- and continuing on to the current generation of goldsmiths made strong by centuries of tradition and project design experience. This treasure of knowledge is waiting for you if you choose to take your programme here in Rome.  Additionally, the programme will give you the opportunity to explore the city of Rome up close.
