Forming Techniques for Jewelry
Jewelry with three-dimensional form is much more elegant and professional looking than flat pieces. In this workshop we will use hammers and simple wooden stakes that the student can make to create interesting and functional jewelry. Shell Forming is a process that allows us to quickly and easily form sheet metal into unique forms. By working with the process, students will come to understand the basic shell forming techniques of synclasting and anticlasting as well as ways to make transitions from one form to the other. Students will gain a new insight into ways to manipulate sheet metal while creating a unique group of jewelry items.
The workshop is appropriate for both beginning and experienced metal students.
