This semester concludes training of the student in basic craft-jewelry design and production techniques that are intended for the student to function effectively within the local Ugandan market environment. The program ends with a course that will give the student proficiency in the use of organic materials, which are readily available for jewelry making in Uganda. With regards to the use of organic materials a lot of emphasis will be placed on indigenous body adornment aesthetics, customs, methods and materials in Africa as a source of inspiration and role model. The course will also explore and encourage the student to investigate demand for jewelry in the local market environment and to learn to design and produce for it. This will be achieved through classroom exercises and project assignments that the student will do during the course of the semester.
