GOLDSMITH’S COURSES
Goldsmith laboratory
Basic and advanced goldsmith’s courses that allow you to create your own jewel. The course comprises 2 parts, a learning and a theoretical specific phase and experimental practice involving metals, alloys and laboratory procedures. The objective is to deepen the analysis of technologies of preparation of the materials used in the laboratory that, while maintaining processing techniques craft, allows the student to analyze the entire production process.
Etruscan Granulation
Description of the principles and basic techniques for the production of granulated jewels. The students will learn the technique of granulation through historical books and photographs.
