BFA in Metalsmithing

The metalsmithing facilities support a wide range technical possibilities within blacksmithing, hollowware, jewelry, and 3-d modeling. Students are encouraged to develop standards for judment, which are not only rigorous to the discipline but also cut across disciplinary boundaries. Through readings, special exhibitions, visiting lectures and workshops students are exposed to national and international currents of thought and new approaches to material. Critiques and discussion of both critical theory and topical issues are used in an open-ended search for understanding current directions within contemporary metalsmithing.
