Course Description

Orthographic drawing is a crucial technical drawing method widely used in the industry to document designs, communicate with clients, resolve design issues, and collaborate with industry professionals such as mount-makers, setters, and engravers.

We’ll begin with a brief introduction to the history and key rules of technical drawing, including line types and layout. Then, we’ll delve into the principles of orthographic drawing using a simple solitaire engagement ring to make our first technical drawing.
