In this fast-paced workshop learn how to make sculptural and colorful earrings using a variety of techniques. Exploring how unique pieces of jewelry can be created as a great introduction to wearable art or for those with prior metals experience to experiment with new processes and techniques. Students will begin by sawing shapes out of copper or brass and then use scoring and bending to create finished form. A variety of enamel techniques will be demonstrated to add color and texture. How to solder earring posts and create jump rings to connect multiple pieces together will also be covered. See *METALS SUPPLIES NOTE. Please bring a bag lunch.
