Program overview
A two year diploma in jewellery making, covering silversmithing, casting and fabrication, stone setting, computer aided design, materials and a final portfolio collection.
College Diploma - Jewellery Art and Design is a craft with a long skill curve, and the workshop hours logged across two years are the actual output.
College Diploma - Jewellery Art and Design is taught at Vancouver Community College, a public college and a Designated Learning Institution with the number O19279717512.
