SILVER II: SILVER EARRINGS
INSTRUCTOR: DEBRA COBIA
Earrings fit almost everyone and come in many shapes and sizes, with and without gems. In this class, we will focus on contemporary style using techniques and materials ranging from the simple silver wire dangle to more complex, articulated multi-stone drops. Some traditional sterling as well as Argentium silver will be used. You may expect to complete at least five pairs of earrings. Class fee includes materials for three projects, tool use, handouts, solder and other consumables. Bring your own silver for additional projects or purchase from the instructor. Feel free to bring gemstones you would like to use. Expected learner outcomes for the class: mastery of the components found in studs, hooks and hoops, and stone set earrings; accuracy in small scale soldering; competency in design and fabrication, managing weight, length, and findings; proficiency in texturing, coloring, stone setting, and final finishing.
