JEWELRY FROM FOUND OBJECTS WORKSHOP

*This class can be offered on-site as per request in your home. Beginners and advanced jewelry students. Email Barbara at barbara@clearmetals.com if you are interested in hosting a jewelry-making party.

We all have drawers full of odd objects, old keys, single earrings, broken necklaces, etc. Jeweler Barbara Klar leads an intensive workshop in which participants will craft wearable jewelry from these disparate odds and ends.

Students will hunt for found objects such as hickory nut shells, twigs or pebbles and incorporate them into jewelry via cold connections such as riveting, wire twisting and wrapping. No experience is necessary but this class will give you a good basis to learn the beginning jewelry techniques of sawing, filing and polishing.

Participants bring their own found objects, and Barbara provides the findings and the expertise she has garnered in nearly 30 years⠯f creating unique and unusual collectorⳠpieces.

Workshop: Small Box and Tabletop Objects Beginner.
No experience necessary. Ages: 15+

Students will learn the jewelry techniques of soldering, sawing, filing, polishing and fitting two pieces together, such as the top and bottom of a box made from industrial copper or brass largesized tubing. Some design concepts will also be covered.
