Once upon a time, a tale was told in silver and gold. Our very first creative challenge invites you to reimagine fairy tales through the language of metalsmithing — to translate enchantment, transformation, and timeless wonder into wearable art !
Your quest: Create a wearable piece of jewelry inspired by a fairy tale, myth, or fable that captures its essence, emotion, or moment of transformation.
This is a chance to explore storytelling through metalwork. Can a ring whisper a legend? Can a pendant hold a spell? Can a bracelet tell a tale of transformation?
Challenge Release Date: January 5th
Project Due: March 7th
