    The University of the Arts - Closed

    Metal is an extremely versatile material; though hard and durable, it is quite malleable and easily worked. This course covers direct working of metal. Sheet, wire, bar, and rod are given form by hammering, seaming, and bending, etc. The majority of work is done in bronze, brass and copper, though steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and precious metals may be used as well. Contemporary issues addressed include the object as sculpture, process as a source material, the importance of surface and detail, and functional objects made by artists. Formerly CR 242 Prerequisites & Notes Priority enrollment to Crafts majors and Multidisciplinary Fine Arts majors. May be taken twice for credit. Credits: 3 cr, 6 hrs

  • CRMT 225: Enameling

    6.00 Credits
    The University of the Arts - Closed

    Enameling is the art of firing colored glass onto metal. The transparent, opaque, and opalescent enamel colors are layered to produce richness, detail, depth, and brilliance in this durable and painterly medium. Traditional techniques such as cloisonné, grisaille, Limoges, basse taille, plique-á-jour, and champlevé, as well as contemporary and experimental processes are explored. Once they have gained a facility with the medium, students produce jewelry or small jewel-like paintings.

  • CRMT 227: Introduction to Electroforming

    3.00 Credits
    The University of the Arts - Closed

    Electroforming is the process of electrically depositing (plating) metal onto a non-metallic surface or object. Metal may be built up on non-porous materials such as wax, plastic, Styrofoam, glass, stone, etc. Wax or foam may be removed from electroformed objects to leave a strong, lightweight, self-supporting metal shell. Students work in electroformed copper; assignments are structured to allow students to work in accustomed formats and/or combine electroforming with other materials or processes. Formerly CR 281 Prerequisites & Notes Priority enrollment to Crafts majors and Multidisciplinary Fine Arts majors. May be taken twice for credit. Credits: 3 cr, 6 hrs
