Cert in Metal Jewellery 2 Fundamentals Statement of Completion at North Island College in Courtenay, Canada is a certificate in Visual Arts programme. The programme runs for 7 weeks, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 2,550 per total for local students.
Building directly on Metal Jewellery 1 (or an instructor-assessed equivalent), this second seven-week Campbell River studio course moves into alternative stone setting, heat- and patina-based metal colouring, multi-step soldering, wax carving and lost-wax casting, plus coastal-themed engraving and an introduction to gemmology and buying stones. A closing unit covers the business steps to launching a jewellery enterprise. Students may bring their own metals or gemstones into projects, and wholesale metal purchasing continues to be available through the studio for those who need more. Classes run Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. over the seven-week session, and the course also welcomes students with previous jewellery-making experience or completed weekend courses, not only Metal Jewellery 1 graduates. Tuition is $2,550, and students are expected to supply their own basic hand tools.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Domestic applicants only. There is no formal academic prerequisite, but North Island College states this seven-week program builds on Metal Jewellery 1: Foundation, putting into practice what students have already learned; it is intended for students with previous jewellery-making experience, or who have completed Metal Jewellery 1 or one of NIC's weekend jewellery courses, and who want to increase their skills. No minimum grade or English-language test score is published. Applicants unsure which level suits their experience are advised to contact NIC's Future Students team before registering directly with the Continuing Education and Training department.
