JEWELLERY COURSES
The goldsmithery courses, practical or practical/theoretical, can last one or two years.
From the first day of the course the students work with silver and stones, of which they have a huge store available.
The aim of these courses is to provide the students with a solid technical base, the ability to produce personal work and independence in managing the creative processes. The teaching method, tested and refined since 1985, allows excellent results to be achieved in relatively short periods. A large number of techniques and themes are addressed: it is not a question of learning a certain type of goldsmithery (e.g. 'Florentine' or 'Contemporary') but rather the methodologies that allow the production of and experimentation with all types.
JEWELRY COURSES - JEWELRY DESIGN
The courses in artistic and technical design are designed to provide the student with the knowledge and techniques needed for correct graphical representation of a piece of jewellery. To achieve this aim, we develop two formally distinct but closely related subjects: the first essentially concerns the methods of representation using descriptive geometry, while the second concerns everything to do with the creative aspect and technical problems connected with rendering. The annual courses include some lessons in wax modelling. |

GOLDSMITH ART
The way of teaching in the goldsmithery sector has been influenced and modified thanks to an innovatory vision that has abandoned old stereotypes and invented, tested and refined a creative, personalised way of learning, without losing sight of the acquisition of the techniques and concepts that lie at the root of expression.
CRAFT AND ARTS
The school has its premises in Florence, a city that has always been identified with art. The home of artists and craftsmen who have made it famous throughout the world, Florence today is still rich in exceptional craftsmanship, and preserves a human dimension that attracts thousands of the young and not-so-young from all parts.
The school inherits the Renaissance spirit of the city, but does not stop there: the great lesson of the past is relaunched, and the teaching staff take into account the needs linked to changing customs, new technology, the knowledge of materials and the requirements of the students that attend the courses. |
