GEOMETRIC DESIGNS IN WIRE OR SHEET
OCTOBER 7,8,9 This workshop will be a fun three-day intensive on fabricating 3-D geometric forms in either fine gauge wire or sheet metal. Students will practice precision of measurement and unique soldering setup. Demonstrations and discussions will be given on set-up, gauge of sheet metal, score and fold, round vs square wire and different metals (silver vs gold). Students will be encouraged to either create pendants, or earrings and a variety of finishing techniques and design will be discussed.
Class will begin at 9:30 each day and end at 4:30. Fee: Members $350. Non-members $425. |
WE BE BEZELIN'
JANUARY 13,14,15 Advanced bezel fabrication. All levels of experience welcome, but general fabrication and soldering knowledge will be helpful. We will learn hand fabrication of bezels in high karat gold, silver, and a combination of the two. Working with fancy shaped faceted stones, geometric rose cuts, and rough surfaces of crystals and raw gems that follow undulating heights. We will look at different ways to connect settings together by using tube set diamonds, sapphires, or rubies with the stones already in place. Pushing bezels out of the way to connect them directly to each other. Along with how to design taking those factors into consideration. We will also look at color composition when picking stones for designs, using contrasting and complimenting pallets. Class will begin at 9:30 each day and end at 4:30 at the Armory Art Center
