Bring your little loose treasures such as photos, plastic, paper, shell and learn to incorporate them into a jewelry piece. Using and combining various found objects is a fun and meaningful way to create unique pieces of jewelry. Learn to create "cold connections" in your jewelry work instead of relying on soldering. Methods of construction covered include techniques such as tabs and binding, but every found object presents its own opportunity and challenge. Open your eyes to using non-metallic components in this fun one-day workshop! A materials fee of $12 will be payable to the instructor during the workshop. Open to ages 16+.
