Metalworking serves as both an artistic medium and intellectual framework. In graduate studies, the interplay between adornment and wearer, container and the void it shapes and holds becomes central to analysis, dialogue, and scholarly exploration. As developing creators, our graduate cohort fosters a collaborative network across disciplines, offering each member distinctive learning opportunities. Our workshops support both conventional and innovative jewelry-making and metal fabrication methods. Graduate artists enjoy dedicated or shared workspaces in a facility that also houses art instruction, pottery, print arts, and three-dimensional arts.

We aim to equip you with the tools and guidance necessary to cultivate your creative abilities while comprehending the influences shaping artistic practice in our globally connected era. The enduring legacy of painting at our institution reflects an unwavering dedication to this timeless discipline. The divisions between classical and modern approaches, or between representational and abstract forms, have collapsed, leaving behind powerful, self-directed individual expressions. The emerging painters in our program embody painting's worldwide potential, whether honoring tradition or breaking boundaries, existing between disciplines or spanning multiple art forms.
