A Guide to Jewelry Design Education & Training

Question
hi! I'm doing this project at school, and every one has to pick an art career. i chose jewelry design since i live making jewelry. so, i was wondering if you knew what type of education and training it takes to be a jewelry designer... write back, thank you!!! :]

Answer
There are many good Art and design schools that have a jewelry design curriculum. I would recommend a 4 year degree BA program with a concentration in jewelry design, model making,casting as well as lost wax. Basic courses in design are important before specializing in jewelry design. Your best bet is to see a school councelor for the best school for you.
