This workshop is a 2 part workshop. In the wire and beads jewelry session, students will learn how to select the appropriate type of wire for specific jewelry making projects. We'll go over what gauges are and what types of wire works best for earrings, pendants, and jump rings. Students will make earrings from scratch, using silver wire and beads. We'll cover how to repurpose jewelry using these skills and create an adjustable ring. The resin jewelry making session, builds on the wire making class but not a required prerequisite for the resin class. We'll use molds, uv fast curing resin, dried florals, and wire to create nature inspired jewelry. Students can make both earrings and pendants and many students create sets
Students should wear clothes they don’t mind getting dirty or bring an apron. Class involves repetitive motion. Lisette Bez Lisette's journey into metalsmithing began in 2015 during her travels in South America, an experience that not only ignited her passion but also laid the foundation for her purpose in jewelry making. After experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one, she found herself healing through the practice of creating beautiful pieces from raw materials. She developed a passion for creating jewelry out of memories, and began sharing her knowledge and skills with others through workshops and classes. Guided by traditional craftsmanship, Lisette honed her skills under the training of Master Goldsmiths in Quito, Ecuador. Through meticulous work with essential tools and the alchemy of pure silver and gold, she developed into a versatile and adept jewelry designer. Her dedication to authenticity is evident in the way she not only embraces the roots of traditional artisanal techniques but also seamlessly incorporates them into contemporary and fine jewelry creations. Class price includes materials fee.
