Much of art is about storytelling and this workshop will explore a variety of techniques for incorporating drawings into jewelry to create a narrative. Guided by daily demonstrations and fun exercises, students will focus on the unique characteristics of drawn marks on metal and wood. Students will experiment with colored pencil drawings on both metal and wood, as well as graphite and underglaze drawings on vitreous enamel. Along with exploring these techniques, students will investigate and brainstorm how to incorporate their illustrated elements into a finished work of narrative jewelry. Students will leave the workshop with several drawn samples that they can later complete as finished jewelry.
No prerequisite but beginning fabrication skills are helpful
