SILVER III: SOUTHWEST JEWELRY
INSTRUCTOR: MARJI FERRELL
Let's travel together to the Southwest to learn both traditional and contemporary Indian style jewelry making. Students will learn multiple techniques employed by American Indian craftsmen including overlay, stamping, creation of embellishments, use of shot plates, taps and dies, the types of stones used and piercing. Individual creativity is encouraged. I will have reference books and magazines available to inspire your designs and I'm always there to help. Cabochons and silver will be available for purchase. If you have your own tools, stones or silver you may bring them with you, an OptiVISOR is invaluable and strongly recommended. The class fee covers solder, a cabochon and silver for the first project, saw blades, educational materials and other expendables.
