| Kristina Logan & Ellen Wieske - May 2-3, 2009 |
 We're excited to announce:
Kristina Logan & Ellen Wieske will be
teaching a two-day workshop:
Where Glass and Metal Meet
Sat., May 2 (10am-6pm) &
Sun., May3 (10am-4pm), 2009
-- $520 - lunches included
Wondering what to do with all those beads? This class is specifically designed for glass beadmakers who want to set their beads into jewelry. Internationally recognized glass artist Kristina Logan and metalsmith Ellen Wieske offer this collaborative workshop where they will teach approaches to "marrying" glass and metal.
Instructors will explain and demonstrate jewelry making techniques designed to enable and empower students to use their beads in projects such as: rings, brooches, and pendants. Students will learn jewelry techniques such as: simple to complex soldering, prong setting, bezel setting, troubleshooting, finishing, and surface treatment. Experimentation will be strongly encouraged.
Students will be encouraged to take their work to the next level to expand their skills and extend their possibilities. All levels of experience are welcome. There will be no time for beadmaking in this class and all class time will be devoted to working in the studio with pre-made beads. |
