"Make your own Jewelry Findings" is specially designed for beaders, glass bead artists and anyone seeking to learn how to make their own findings for jewelry. Students will learn to make different styles of ear wires, wire clasps, pin backs, and hairpins in one day!
In addition, learn simple cold connections, including rivets, to connect pieces together without soldering. Piercing (sawing) and drilling will also be shown so that students can work with sheet metal and not need a lot of tools. Finally, wrap up the day with simple ways of cleaning and polishing your work.
You can see more of Joy's work on her website www.joyraskin.com or her webstore http://store.metalornaments.com/
Materials & Tools
A materials fee of $35 is payable to the instructor at the workshop. It includes enough wire to make findings based on demonstrations shown.
Student Should Bring:
- Any pliers you already have - make sure to mark them with tape/nail polish so you don't confuse them with other student's tools.
- Any beads you have and would like to work with
- Any pieces of jewelry you've made that you have questions about. This will be used to discuss and find new solutions for design problems
