LLCFT 329 - Metalsmithing: Next Dimension - Jewelry Fabrication

Add a new dimension to your jewelry as you explore different methods of capturing stones and found objects. While building a piece of your own design, you'll learn new techniques such as riveting, fusing, creating surface textures, and making movable parts. Bring a stone, object or memento (no bigger than a quarter) to incorporate into your design, plus paper and pencil, to the first night of class. Materials needed to complete your piece will be discussed at this time. Students should expect to spend up to an additional $50. Special fee covers facility and tool rental, various wires and copper sheet. Class is for students that have taken LLCFT 229 Beginning Metalsmithing or the equivalent and are comfortable using a torch, jeweler's saw and basic finishing tools.
