Welcome

   The Jewelry and Metalsmithing Program at MassArt provides a sequential program of experiences which combine direct practice with conceptual problem solving.
 
   By exploring the methods and motives behind both traditional and contemporary objects, students cultivate an awareness of their direct connection to the vitality of art in historic and contemporary culture.

  • Jewelry construction in base and precious material
