ALTERNATIVE SURFACES IN JEWELLERY – only 1 place left! Students will learn a variety of unique surfaces using patinas, embossing, and colored pencils and torch fire enameling. Students will also incorporate found items into the jewellery, allowing the pieces to become narrative and personal. A variety of cold connections and weaving techniques will be used instead of soldering to connect and create the pieces. Students will use copper and some silver sheet metal for accent and a variety of found objects to construct their pieces.
