Jewelry Making Classes

Summer 2009

Summer Program

Summer classes will feature fewer new techniques to allow continuing students time to wrap up unfinished projects. If you are a new, or newer student, don't worry, I'll keep you busy! There's plenty to learn with the basics.

This summer would be a good time to work on new designs using techniques already learned. To help with this I will include discussions on sketching for design.

Summer 1 session will explore some simple chain making options and the use of solder filled wire for making jump rings and links. Summer 2 session will touch on tool making using flooring nails to make a few simple chasing tools.
