Explorations in Jewelry Techniques & Designs


  • Visual Art Center 68 Elm Street Summit, NJ 07901 United States (map)

Move through a series of projects to build foundational jewelry-making skills. Students will learn to: use jump rings and rivets for step bezel setting and cold connections; create a chain with a toggle clasp using texturing and soldering; and fabricate bamboo and facet file rings. Appliqué jewelry, hollow forms, easy prongs, and tube settings will also be covered. Completion of projects will vary based on your designs and pace of progress. Advanced students are welcome to use time for individual projects while overseen by instructor. At the end of the class session a curriculum will be created for each student specific to their design style and technical direction for future endeavors.
