Ethics and Professional Practices in Metal/Jewellery Design

At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. identify the practical procedural issues involved in setting up a jewellery/metal industry; and 2. describe the legislative and ethical issues involved in general practices as an independent jewellery/metal designer.

The course serves as a forum to discuss and prepare for the concern of the professional world. Emphasis is placed on the portfolio refinements, presentation skills, interviewing strategies and professional practice involving money management, self-employment, studio set up, off site production and other related issues.
