"Since the start of 2020, we’ve seen various degrees of what shutdowns look like on a mass scale within and beyond the arts world... This article aims to bring perspective to the ongoing responses to the pandemic from the angle of the educator. It features portions of interviews from various jewelry and metalsmithing faculty from across the globe, examining the unique and diverse approaches to modifying curriculum, in addition to the unexpected or rarely addressed problems such as social equity and accessibility within the jewelry/metals educational field that COVID-19 intensified."
