Treasures Captured: Mementos Mounted In Metal
with David Brand & Sandra Picciano Brand
We all have a stash of little treasures we’ve accumulated, or have had handed down to us over the years - buttons, coins, charms, badges, etc. This workshop will concentrate on incorporating them into jewelry designs by means of cold connection, i.e. mechanical means not involving soldering. These techniques include riveting, tabs, micro bolts, prongs, and others. You will also learn or brush up on the important metalsmithing skills of sawing, filing, drilling, as well as methods of surface embellishment. Bring several items as not everything is suitable for mounting. We will also have elements available for use, much of it free, but also some for purchase. Suggestions for items to be set into your jewelry are: pottery shards, post cards, coins, buttons, charms, amulets, etc. Students should plan on providing their own lunch.
