China Academy of Art

The Jewelry major was established in 2004. Alongside Glass art, ceramic art it belongs to the department of Ceramic and Handcrafts of Public Art college of China Academy of Art. We offer students four years of bachelor program and three years of master. We consider two main methodologies as our teaching guide by respecting traditional Chinese culture as well as to research on a new form of contemporary Chinese jewelry. There are various labs of sculpture, glass, ceramics, lacquer that provides sufficient support on materials design and handcrafts training to the jewelry studio. Through a rigorous program, students learn to think individually, master the basic design method and diverse techniques to create a complete piece of work. In addition, they will develop an understanding to meet the traditional Chinese handcrafts and contemporary jewelry.
