advanced jewelry*
Created for those of us who want to work conceptually, this class slows things down and works on crafting designs that tell a story. Expect to spend as much time gathering inspiration and exploring the properties of the material as constructing your finished piece(s). Each class consists of exercises on creativity, guided planning sessions and project fabrication.
This eight-week concentration focuses on the development of creative practices.
Students are responsible for their own metal and stones.
