The Stories We Tell
Session One: May 26-31
Sarah Doremus
The Stories We Tell
Much of art is about storytelling, and everyone has a story. This workshop will explore techniques for creating objects that express your story. You will start with a keepsake—a button, your child’s tooth, or a rock from a favorite place—that you will transform into something wonderful by integrating it into a piece of jewelry. We will work with copper, silver, and brass and employ cold connections, including rivets, tabs, prongs, screws, and resin. We will experiment with galvanic etching to transfer words and images to metal and use diamond drills to integrate stone and glass. Finished pieces do not have to be jewelry, but we will strive to create compositions that tell stories in wearable forms.
Beginning level. Lower metals studio.
