Silversmithing: Vessel
CAEL2026
In this unit students will develop and make a series of vessels using the tradition of silversmithing as their technical and conceptual starting point. The appropriate forming processes, including the doming, raising, and planishing of sheetmetal, will be introduced alongside an examination of the historical foundations of the area and insights into the contemporary context. In addition the design development undertaken will outline the potential for working at a larger scale in metal, the unique form language that grows from hammer forming and the key relationships between the flat blank and the finished object.
