The Double Hoopla Bracelet

February 23, 10am-4pm
Ornamentea

This piece is a simple design of forged silver rings.We will use a technique called 'stick soldering' to join the links and forge them lightly for a sparkly relaxed everyday bracelet. This project can form the basis of lots of easy and profitable production jewelry. Photo courtesy of Ornamentea.


The Valkyrie Bracelet

February 10, 10:00 - 5:00
Ornamentea

This is a chain of pure silver, fit for your inner warrior goddess. We will fuse, shape and forge individual links, and weave them together to form a wonderful bracelet. Photo courtesy of Ornamentea.


Irregular Bezeled Ring

February 18  10am - 4pm
Ornamentea

This class takes a simple ring with a bezel a little further.  We will make the basic bezel, but use an irregular stone or pearl, and learn to create a bezel for something interesting.  This is good for found objects and unusual things. Image courtesy of Ornamentea.

Roman Chain Bracelet with Beads

March 10 - 10 am to 3 pm
Ornamentea

This class teaches the basic fused link chain, and we will make a simple woven silver bracelet ornamented with colorful beads to match the season.It is a classic look, and an easy introduction to the various lovely chains made with pure silver and a creme brulee torch.

Basse-Taille Enamel

Weekend Workshop
March 3-4  10am - 4, 10am - 3

Email me

This weekend workshop covers several techniques.  First we will make some photocopy 'texture papers' to use to pattern metal.  Then we will pattern and shape fine silver, and enamel it using the cloisonne technique.  After that, we will make a bezel for the enamel, and also a small accent stone to use as part of the bail.  This class almost filled before I even advertised it, but there are two seats left.





April 2012
The Stamped Cuff

April 5, 10am - 5pm
Ornamentea

Now you can play with all those tools you made, or use mine.  Or buy some.  Anyway, in this class we are going to stamp designs into sheets of brass or whatever, and bend them into cuffs.  Simple, satisfying, and good practice for learning to control your stamped patterns.  We may even tube rivet a bezel on a cuff, if you want.
