Creativity has energy; it propels us forward. Creativity is an essential element in designing and making jewelry. From spark to market and back again, the complete designer employs creativity as a key to open doors and solve problems.

Here is a unique opportunity to work with David Yurman, whose creativity has had a legendary impact on jewelry design. For the first time, David will lead a small group through a series of projects and exercises to demonstrate and enhance creativity. “I intend to impart my knowledge of creative exploration as applied to the origin, the technical and engineering feasibility of a design, all the way through marketing to the consumer.”

This is an interactive workshop with daily assignments and hands-on practice. Watch and learn as David demonstrates how to design from an initial sketch. Listen as David explains how to approach engineering, resourcing, production, marketing, and retailing. Then you get a chance to develop a concept, to design a product or collection and also begin to develop engineering and production plans as well as marketing and business plans. David will share his philosophy and experience using practical examples of the entire design process - from the initial inspiration through marketing to the customer. Open to all levels.
