METAL CLAY
Silver Rain: Art in Motion
By Carrie Story
Feel the kinetic energy as metal flows under your hands, transforming into a cascade of wearable art. This isn't just jewelry; it's a statement.
Dive deep into the mesmerizing world of silver, where you'll refine your torch skills and master the art of cold connections to create dynamic, kinetic forms. This in-person class will meticulously guide you through the properties and handling of various sterling, fine, and argentium silver components, ensuring you understand how each material contributes to the flow and movement of your design. You'll explore techniques for texturing and forming the silver wire, learning to create the individual rain-like elements and assemble them into a cohesive, flowing design, culminating in stunning, art-in-motion earrings.
In this class, you will learn to:
Refine torch skills for precise heating and shaping of silver.
Master cold connection techniques to create durable, articulated pieces.
Distinguish between and effectively work with sterling, fine, and argentium silver.
Design and execute kinetic jewelry pieces that express movement and fluidity.
Develop a deeper understanding of material properties and their artistic application.
Take this class to not only gain confidence in your metalworking abilities but also to unleash your inner artist, creating unique pieces that are truly your own. Imagine crafting a signature pair of earrings that capture light and movement with every turn of your head. This immersive experience will empower you to view jewelry not just as adornment, but as wearable art.
This class is perfect for all levels – no prior experience necessary! Whether you're a curious beginner or looking to refine existing skills, you'll find a supportive and engaging environment.
