METALS – FALL CONCENTRATION
SEPTEMBER 29 – NOVEMBER 8, 2024 (6 weeks)
From Tradition to Exploration
Starting with the fundamentals of jewelry fabrication, stone/object setting, and vitreous enamels, we’ll delve into a diverse world of techniques, from traditional to exploratory methods. Curiosity will be encouraged as we navigate the vast landscape of jewelry making. As we progress, students will select and combine techniques that resonate with them, culminating in designing and crafting functional jewelry and wearable art. Experimentation and repetition will foster a deeper understanding of materials.
Technical information may include sawing, soldering, riveting, cold connections, filing, polishing, patinas, findings, chain making, hollow construction, texturing, roller printing, metal etching, enameling, and bezel, tube, and flush settings. All levels. Upper metals studio.
