A bit more than Texture and Rivets! Many Techniques will be covered, using Copper, Brass and Nickel Silver. We will make our own rivets as well as the use of store-bought rivets!!

Use of the rolling mill and etching metal to create patterns will be covered as well as use of the Jewelers Saw. Several Patinas will help you complete the perfect finish for your piece! I love stones in their natural state, so I have created many original projects that will exhibit their beauty in wearable art!
