| Betty Helen Longhi: Forming Techniques for Jewelry Workshop |
"Forming Techniques for Jewelry"
March 16th, 17th & 18th
10 am - 5pm
Sponsored by WGG & Creative Metalworks to be held at Creative Metalworks School of Design. There will also be a "Meet the Artist" reception for Betty Helen on Friday March 16th from 6 -9 pm
Jewelry with three-dimensional form is much more elegant and professional looking than flat pieces. In this workshop we will use hammers and simple wooden stakes that the student can make to create interesting and functional jewelry. Shell Forming is a process that allows us to quickly and easily form sheet metal into unique forms. By working with the process, students will come to understand the basic shell forming techniques of synclasting and anticlasting as well as ways to make transitions from one form to the other. Students will gain a new insight into ways to manipulate sheet metal while creating a unique group of jewelry items.
Workshop is limited to 12 students
Cost: $236 WGG Members $260 Non-members
Materials Fee: TBA
Note: Betty-Helen will have Allcraft hammers & stakes for sale at the workshop
