This class will focus on fabrication and
connection techniques and interesting ways to
use and adapt materials that we wouldn't think
of for jewelry. I think a lot of the fun will
come from figuring out how to put it all
together!
I know you've been wondering what to bring with
you, so I've thought of some things and I hope
you already have some things that you've been
wondering what to do with them. Bring them
along!
Metal- silver, copper, brass, bronze, aluminum,
steel (what ever strikes your fancy here, I know
that you probably already have some in your
supply) You'll probably want some metal to use
as the basis of your pieces, so I'd make it both
sheet and wire, maybe some 20 gauge sheet and a
variety of wire sizes from 14 gauge to 24 gauge.
Bring however much you feel free to play with.
I'll have some copper and brass in the studio.
Found objects- bottle caps, feathers, buttons,
bits of wood, shells, rocks, bone, teeth, old
keys, old game pieces, sea glass, regular glass,
rubber/plastic tubing, puzzle pieces, insects,
washers, things from the hardware store, nails,
bits of plastic thingies, tin boxes, photos, old
maps, fancy paper, broken bits of
pottery/dishes/ceramics, fabric, string, old
makup brushes, parts from old toys, and keep on
going.....
