Join us to make a pair of statement earrings. We will design and then hand saw the earring shapes from sheet copper, brass, or nickel silver.
You’ll have lots of choices for embellishments. Add a surface texture using a large variety of hammers, stamps or a scribe. Embellish your design further using wire, bobbles, or forged tabs. Lastly we will assemble the earrings using jump rings & sterling silver hooks.
This workshop is a great start to familiarize yourself with a couple of the tools and techniques needed to create metal jewelry. It’s also a ton of fun and can simply be a great experience.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR, BECCA:
I enrolled in my first metalsmithing class at the Lawrence Arts Center in 2016 and never looked back. Since then I've been mostly self taught, but have loved every step of the way. Having a creative background and a technical eye has been this perfect marriage of why I love metalsmithing and how much I've enjoyed sharpening my skills over the years. I love that metalsmithing has no ceiling as to what you can learn, and I'm excited to have the opportunity to share that with you.
