The Gouaché in High Jewelry 2 - The Color (3h)

What is a gouaché ? 

A « gouaché » is the first step in the creation of a High Jewelry piece: A painted design that will act as a guide for all the craftsmen involved – mock-up makers, jewelers, gemologists and stone setters. 
A highly skilled technique, it consists in depicting three-dimensional volumes: although the painted design is flat, the jewel is a three-dimensional object. 

At L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, two classes are devoted to this technique of High Jewelry design: "The Gouaché in High Jewelry 1 - The Light" and "The Gouaché in High Jewelry 2 - The Color".

• Students will be guided by a jewelry designer and a visual artist.
• Take home your gouaché painting as a souvenir.
• You are welcomed by your teachers before the class starts: a chance to meet each other and share experiences.
• You don’t need to bring any specific material.
• A certificate is given at the end of the class.
• Take part in the course "From the Wax Project to the Setting Techniques" to discover the next key steps in the creation of a piece of High Jewelry.
• After each class, teachers deliver a list of books, podcasts, websites, museums related to the course attended.
