Jim
Richardson will be teaching Silver 2 Advanced Class - Forming
Class
August 17-22
This Silver
2 Advanced Class will focus on the forming process.
We will study the methods of forming metals with regard to jewelry
related objects.
Various concepts will be explored such as the folded and hammered
form and the use of sinusoidal and ball stakes for making bracelets
and shell forms.
Students will also learn how to stretch and compress metals to
achieve various results, which can be translated into jewelry.
Despite this being listed as a Silver class we will do the majority
of the work in copper and brass.
The class will be geared more towards exploring a variety of
exercises rather then making finished jewelry though if the student
chooses they can complete several pieces.
There will be a $50 lab fee, which will include some of the metal.
