Saturday, January 9th from 2:00PM-8:00PM Go big. Create two pairs of bold, lightweight statement earrings while exploring two completely different ways of working with metal. First, forge, hammer, bend, and curve wire into sculptural forms. Then work with sheet metal, cutting, texturing, shaping, and forming it into something entirely your own. Make them long. Make them architectural. Make them asymmetrical. We did not come here to make tiny earrings. Two pairs. Two techniques. Your rules. No experience needed. Workshop cost does not include materials. The materials kit fee ranges from $45-$55 and is available to purchase from the instructor via Venmo. 6-hour Workshop Cost – Non-members: $125 / Members: $100 Six hours gives us enough time to settle into the studio, learn the techniques, make the work, and finish our pieces without racing the clock. We’ll take a snack break partway through class. Students are encouraged to bring their own snacks and drinks. Metalsmithing is surprisingly hungry work. For safety, students must wear closed-toed shoes and clothing appropriate for working in a metals studio. Long hair must be able to be pulled back and secured. We’ll be working with torches, hot metal, hammers, chemicals, and equipment, so this is not the afternoon for flowing sleeves and Rapunzel cosplay. Additional materials will be available for purchase directly from the instructor via Venmo.
