MIXED METALS: COLD CONNECTIONS 1.5
INSTRUCTOR: ARLENE LAZZARO
A bit more than Texture and Rivets! Many techniques will be covered using Copper, Brass and Nickel Silver. I will show you how to make your own rivets as well as use of store bought rivets. Upcycling metals are a passion of mine, so I will show a different way to look at everyday objects that may be used in your pieces. Fold forming, etching and setting stones will be covered as well as use of Jeweler’s saw. Several Patinas will be shown to help complete the perfect finish for your pieces!! I love stones in their natural state, so I have created many projects that will exhibit their beauty in a finished piece of wearable art! The class fee will cover all consumables, metals and large selection of stones and beads to complete at least 5 projects!
