Hello,
Registration for Summer session at JMU is in full swing, and it's a great time to take a Metals and Jewelry class through the JMU School of Art and Art History.
In contemporary practice, craftsmen and artists use the techniques and materials of jewelry to create sculpture, body adornment, and decorative and functional objects. The summer sessions of ART 240 Metals and Jewelry are a great way to learn more about metal and metalsmithing techniques, creative problem solving, and the composition of beautiful and meaningful objects. The class is also an on-going experiment in applied thermo- and fluid-dymanics, and metallurgy.
This summer, in addition to teaching the basics of small-scale metal fabrication, we will be covering knife-making and casting techniques as well.
These are intensive 3-credit summer courses that run in four-week blocks (May 16-June 10, and June 13 - July 8, from 12:30 to 5:20 pm.) with class sizes that are very small so I can be focused on you.
The usual pre-requisites and restrictions on registration for this class are waived for summer enrollment. If you experience any difficulty registering, please contact me.
Please visit my website for more information on me and the Metals and Jewelry classes at JMU at http://www.mrooker.com or email me at rookermd@jmu.edu.
Thank you,
