Mary Hettmansperger – Designing Fiber Jewelry – Woven, Found and Forged
The goal of this
three day session is to introduce students to a variety of weaving techniques
that can be interpreted into jewelry. Coiling, looping, twining, knotting,
sumac, and plaiting will all be used and incorporated into a variety of jewelry
pieces. Each technique will be learned through the making of a piece of
jewelry. Once the techniques have been covered students will then explore low
tech metal work, cold connections, and combining the many techniques. All
levels.
Materials Fee: $10-$40 depending on what students bring and what is used of instructor's materials.
