Registration is now open for the undergraduate program at Bezalel for the academic year 2025–26.
Open day - Tuesday, 17.12.24, for the departments of Architecture, Landscape Architecture*, Fine Arts, Screen-based Arts, Ceramics and Glass Design, Industrial Design, Jewelry and Fashion, Photography, Visual Communication and a theoretical degree (B.A.) in Visual and Material Culture.
The Department of Jewelry and Fashion combines a holistic approach to all creative activities relating to the body and its environment with in-depth instruction and research in techniques, materials and conceptual perspectives. The program marries formal instruction in traditional craft techniques with the study of advanced technological and ecological methods to explore research and produce articles for the human body.
The interdisciplinary curriculum offers specialized tracks in jewelry, accessories and fashion. While stressing the necessity of maintaining harmony among them, it encourages the exploration of the boundaries between the specialties and the establishment of new channels of thought. Fruitful dialogues and a collective conversation among these different fields of study provide fertile ground for imaginative and innovative design while maintaining the creative space of each.
The program provides a comprehensive learning experience that trains the next generation of designers to create original work inspired by the world around them. It guides them to draw upon local artisanship and time-honored crafts such as Judaica and embroidery, while simultaneously exposing them to the latest global expressions and styles. With the digital production revolution in full swing, the Department aims to be at the forefront of new technologies – to chart the path that incorporates cutting-edge tools and methodologies into traditional practices and techniques to create a totally new and inspiring vision.
The Department’s historic continuum of setting the standard and leading the way has garnered its students, graduates and faculty some of the most prestigious awards in Israel and around the world, in the fields of jewelry, shoes and clothing.
