This jewelry II course will focus on a variety hammering techniques and surface embellishments as well as increasing confidence at the torch and successful planning and completion of projects.
Students will learn to forge both wire and thick sheet metal which allows for the creation of 3 dimensional forms that are not possible through fabrication alone. Other hammering skills introduced include fold forming and texturing. Joy will also demonstrate surface embellishment possibilities achievable through the rolling mill.
Following demonstrations, there will be several assigned technique-based projects which continue to develop and expand student's skill set. However, if students prefer, they will have the opportunity to work on specific projects of their own design.
This class is 4 sessions long. Each session is 3 hours.
