It&#8217;s a complex thing, as some schools have what is termed a &#8216;metals concentration&#8217;, while many others have a couple of jewellery units available to their undergrad students (sometimes taught by jewellers, but sometimes a part of a sculpture or crafts department, for example, and taught by other artists), without offering the ability to major in metals or jewellery. Needless to say, it&#8217;s quite different to my Australian experience, and since I&#8217;m inexpert at the differences between the two offerings, it likely has effected the composition of my map.<\/p>\n<p>Caveats aside, here&#8217;s what I have so far: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/edit?mid=zOKtjcZdtB9k.k3gtcUYwiXtI&amp;usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\">Jewellery Schools USA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Based on a presentation at SNAG this year, I think there might be other similar compilations floating around, and given that it&#8217;s quite possible I&#8217;ve made incorrect judgements, (I did start out on the very conservative side, thus the current listing is only 19 schools and does not yet include Canada) if you have seen\/own a better list please let me know and I&#8217;ll post it up here in this one&#8217;s place. Or if you have anything to add to this list, please email me for permission to edit and we&#8217;ll get them on there!<\/p>\n<p>I know I promised a SNAG wrap-up; I just wanted to get this out there as I&#8217;ve been thinking about it since SNAG, and it might help answer a question from an email I recently received \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melissa mapped a few jewellery schools that she knows of.
