Making Jewelry: So Much More Than Bling! With Togetherhood
Learning to make jewelry is an exciting way to exercise both creative and practical skills. Young hands develop dexterity and hand-eye coordination while young minds explore color, shape, form, and texture on a technical and artistic level. Students will also begin to discover their own style-learning what they like, what they don’t, and how personal adornment can express individuality. We will experiment with a wide variety of materials, including beads, wire, clay, ribbon, cord, metals, and found objects. Most classes will end with a completed piece to bring home and share. Jewelry making is for everyone- many of the world’s most innovative designers have been men as well as women- and this class welcomes all who are excited to create. By the end of the session, students will have practiced essential jewelry-making techniques while developing confidence in their creative abilities.
