Come and learn to rivet and make a multi-layer pendant or a pair of earrings using copper and brass. In this 2.5-hour workshop, students can follow a pattern or use their own design ideas to create one-of-a-kind pieces while exploring how to make simple shapes to layer or hang in interesting ways. Learn a variety of metalsmithing techniques including how to cut sheet metal with a jeweler's saw, file, drill holes with a drill press, rivet together layers of metal, apply textures, finish your pieces and, if desired, apply a patina to highlight the textures. We will finish off by assembling the earrings/pendants with ear wires and jump rings. Samples will be provided for ideas and inspiration.
You will have the choice to make a pair of large earrings or 2 pairs of small earrings out of copper or brass. The instructor will have additional materials, including Sterling Silver available for purchase during class if you would like to upgrade.
