M-3 Micro-Collage Jewelry with Nisa Blackmon

In this five-session class, students will learn fundamental metal-working skills such as sawing, piercing, filing & sanding, patination and tab-setting.   We will also create tiny, original collages and design metal settings for them, resulting in one-of a kind pieces of jewelry.  This course will result in at least one piece of finished jewelry and can serve as a foundation for further jewelry classes.(cont. on next page)

Students may bring to the first session any materials, of their choice, that can be cut up to make mini-collages (examples:  decorative papers, paper memorabilia, vintage paper ephemera, fabric scraps, paintings, drawings or sketches, photos, illustrations or text, prints, pressed flowers, etc., etc.!).  Plenty of collage materials will be provided by the instructor as well, along with all tools, metals and metal-working supplies.
