In this workshop we will focus on anticlastic skills needed to make earrings. This includes transitioning from the body of an earring into the ear wire. We will focus on three different methods of forming ear wires from a single sheet of metal. We will also talk about the steps required to go from a hammered form to a fully finished earring with faired and polished surfaces. You will learn common downfalls in finished earrings, how to avoid them, as well as how to assess the quality of your work to determine when a piece is complete.
This workshop will take place from 9:00AM to 5:00PM on Thursday October 30th.
