Students learn basic metalsmith concepts as we craft earrings from scrap metal. Using scrap metals allows students to experiment with design and pushes pre-conceived ideas of what earrings can be. Students will leave with at least one pair of finished earrings (for pierced ears only) and the skills needed to make their own earrings after class.

About your instructor: 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻 has always been an artist, but made a detour to study computer science and physics. You can see a nod to those disciplines in her silversmith work which plays on suspension and negative space. She spent many years in Wisconsin developing software for the Wisconsin DNR prior to moving with her husband to Ely in 2004. Since moving to Ely, Sharee has made her way back to art by exploring many mediums – painting, silversmithing, sewing, and cooking. She studied silversmithing under a master silversmith in Taos, New Mexico and has won best of show awards for the quality and unique design of her work. She enjoys teaching others how to be creative with sewing – she recycles and upcycles clothes and textiles into interesting pieces of clothing or accessories. She loves to watch students learn new skills and guides them in interpreting the assignments in their own way. In Sharee's free time she enjoys cooking, foraging, fishing, camping, and reading.
