Metalsmithing - Explore Rivets and Texture
Advertisement
Come and learn to rivet and make a multi-layer pendant or a pair of earrings using copper and brass. In this 2.5-hour workshop, students can follow a pattern or use their own design ideas to create one-of-a-kind pieces while exploring how to make simple shapes to layer or hang in interesting ways. Learn a variety of metalsmithing techniques including how to cut sheet metal with a jeweler's saw, file, drill holes with a drill press, rivet together layers of metal, apply textures, finish your pieces and, if desired, apply a patina to highlight the textures. We will finish off by assembling the earrings/pendants with ear wires and jump rings. Samples will be provided for ideas and inspiration.
You will have the choice to make a pair of large earrings or 2 pairs of small earrings out of copper or brass. The instructor will have additional materials, including Sterling Silver available for purchase during class if you would like to upgrade.
All materials and tools included.
