TAUGHT BY NAAMA LEVIT
This 8 session course builds upon basic metalworking skills and will introduce a variety of new jewelry techniques. Improve your metalworking skills by learning how to choose, plan, and construct the right mechanism for your jewelry designs.
Brooches and hinged hoop earrings are archetypes of jewelry that include movement. This movement is achieved through crafting handmade mechanisms. Often these clever elements are hidden or somewhat unnoticed, but their function is what makes a piece of jewelry unique and exceptional.
In this class we will learn the techniques to create various hinging mechanisms to add sophistication to each piece of jewelry.
Two main projects will be hinged hoop earrings, and a brooch back mechanism.
This class is perfect for anyone who wants to strengthen their understanding of jewelry. Basic jewelry fabrication skills, including soldering and torchwork, is required.
Class size 4 – 12 students. Masks are optional, not required.
