This is a 5 week long workshop. Oct 2nd-16th-30th, Nov 6th-13rd
We will explore a variety of ways to texture copper, brass, nickel silver. We will learn how to drill, saw those pieces into shapes and use cold connections to construct a small sculptural brooch or necklace. Finishing techniques will be discussed. Our goal is to have a basic understanding of a wide range of processes and the tools and equipment to accomplish those goals.
