M-3 Piercing and Patination:  Silhouette Metal Jewelry

with Nisa Blackmon

Thursdays, 5 sessions

Jan. 29, Feb. 5, 12, 19, 26;

6:30-9:00 pm, 

Fee: $125 (Non Member)

If you've ever wanted to create your own jewelry designs or custom metal shapes for enameling, this is the place to start! Students will learn fundamental jewelry and metalworking skills (sawing, piercing, filing, sanding and patination) as they create elegant pieces based on the concept of silhouettes. Finished earrings or pendants will go home with each student, along with the knowledge of tools, materials and techniques necessary for them to continue making jewelry on their own.

It is strongly recommended that students be able to attend the first two sessions without absences.

All tools and supplies needed will be provided.

  



Mission Statement: We encourage and promote the appreciation, study, cultivation, development, and practice of art for the benefit of all the people, cultures and communities of McLean County.
