Introduction
Summary The master’s program in Crafts specializing in jewelry art is based on an artistic exploration through materials and concepts. As a student of the program, you will gain a deeper understanding of the material, explore the potential of jewelry art for artistic depiction, and investigate the relationship between humans and artifacts. You will develop skill-based knowledge and enhance your execution of artistic work based on your own artistic inquiries within jewelry art. About All societies need reference points to form their future and to orient themselves in the present. Crafts constitute such a reference point through their associations with human needs and activities. The subject of crafts extends from tradition to science, forming an exciting, artistic arena. The master’s program in Crafts at the Academy of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg is an all-encompassing environment that involves constant exchange and interaction between undergraduate education, research, and society. The master’s program in Crafts has three specializations: jewelry art ceramic art textile art A balance of collaborative work environment and individual development The courses in the program are taken together with students from the other specializations, but your work will be done within jewelry art. During your education, you will develop your ability to initiate and resolve artistic projects creating vital confidence with your own working methods. This demands independence and the capacity for initiative. As a student, you will have the opportunity to broaden your frame of reference, develop exploratory artistic working methods, and deepen your technical and theoretical knowledge. Our study groups are small and you will work in close cooperation with fellow students and staff. Additionally, you will have an individually allocated workplace and generous access to the school. Support in shaping your artistic expression Artistic exploration through materials and concepts is the basis of the program. Course work encourages the development of skill-based knowledge, fosters debate about the meaning of material inquiries, and investigates the conceptual identity of the crafts. Through studio work, theory, writing, and reflection, you will shape your artistic expression and will have further support with lectures, seminars, and supervision. The artistic and investigatory process comprises the foundation of the program and you will have access to well-equipped workshops and study places right in the center of Gothenburg. We invite international specialists and practitioners to come and visit us, which broadens perspectives and encourages a network within the subject area. Specializing in jewelry art If you choose to specialize in jewelry art, you will have great possibilities to work in various materials. In the department’s well-equipped workshop, you will find machines and tools for working with smithery, soldering, casting, etching, enameling, anodizing, and 3-d printing, for example. Program structure and content The first semester starts with a subject-specific practical and theoretical introduction where you will outline your focus and goals for your studies. Material-based, practical, technical, and contextual experiences are broadened through exploratory inquiries and artistic risk-taking. During the second semester, you will create in-depth artistic projects in order to develop an understanding of your choices, working methods, and the context you are operating in from a historical and contemporary craft perspective. During the third semester the focus shifts from the self-initiated look to the viewer's gaze: to view and to be viewed. The exhibition format is examined in practice and theory. Prerequisites for a professional life are addressed. You will begin your independent degree project this semester. During the fourth semester, you will complete your independent degree project that includes a major artistic work, a degree report, and a presentation of the project within the framework of a degree exhibition. Who should apply? Are you interested in exploring the potential of jewelry art to create an understanding of our times through artistic depiction? Do you want to investigate the relationship humans have with the objects and artifacts we use to adorn ourselves? Are you fascinated with the dialogue between practitioner, method, material, and the surrounding world? Do you want to participate in collaborative projects investigating the relationship between people and jewelry? If you want to pursue artistic exploration through the materials and concepts of jewelry, then apply for the master’s program in Crafts specializing in jewelry art.
