Workshop List

Learn how to add a splash of vibrant color to your jewelry metal! We’ll use colored pencils and pastels to create rich layered color on copper or brass. We will create an easy pair of earrings in class – or students have the option to create a simple riveted pendant if they are experienced at fabrication techniques like sawing and riveting. In addition to the coloring technique, instructor will
demo Riveting, Sawing and delve into Color Use and Design. Don’t worry if you can’t draw –
we have premade patterns to color, too! Depending on speed and skill level, you will
complete a pair of earrings (beginner) or one pendant or focal element (intermediate to
advanced) in class
Please note: we will be using traditional art supplies and low-odor fixative to set the color
on the metal – keep this in mind if you are uncomfortable with walking in and outside
several times during the class to spray your work!
