"Enamel Jewelry: Glass on Metal"
Thursdays, September 18 - October 30, 2025
 

In this demonstration focused, multi-week class, students will learn the foundations of enameling on metal to create lightweight, wearable jewelry. Utilizing traditional metal fabrication and cold connections, students will learn silver soldering, earwire fitting, filing, sanding, and sawing, and light forming. They will then take their prepared metal and apply multiple layers of vitreous glass enamel, which will add color and even potential imagery to their new wearable pieces. Finally, students will learn about finishing and care to make their pieces sustain everyday wear and comfort.

"Jewelry vs. Sculpture"
November 1-2, 2025
 

Artistic jewelry should be dramatic but also wearable. The focus of this workshop will be design and construction of wearable art that is both captivating and comfortable. Be prepared to bring sketches of designs you would like to make so I can get an idea what you plan to make and advise how to do so. You can also send me a picture of your sketches ahead of the workshop so I can let you know what materials you may need. Level: Beyond Beginner level (construction and soldering skills).
