Cost for 24 hr (3 days) workshop is $275.00 Want to make eautiful, wearable works of art? In a 3-day intensive seminar, the beginning techniques of silversmithing are taught to help students create jewelry or 3-dimensional sculpture. Learn to use jeweler's tools to saw, stamp, shape and join metals. Piercing, Soldering, forging techniques and bezel setting stones will be taught. Also covered will be finishing techniques and tools necessary. A variety of metals will be utilized in this class. The skills you learn in this workshop will enable you to continue creating jewelry on your own, at home. Each student will create four to five pieces to take home, including a ring, earrings, pendant, bracelet, and link necklace. Jessica Kidd has been teaching silversmithing at the Glenwood Springs Center for the Arts for four years, and practicing her art for seven. She took her first silversmithing class at the Center for the Arts and fell in love with the creation of wearable art. Largely self- educated, she has refined her skills by taking many workshops with master craftsmen, including legendary locals Jerry Scavezze and Harold O'Connor. Facilitating her students' ability to turn their newfound skills into a profitable venture is her primary focus. Jessica Kidd: A gem of a personality, this teacher definitely shines as a craftsperson and artist. She has been our full time Silversmithing instructor for four years and we love watching her students turn out contemporary, original pieces... even after their first semester. Her sense of humor is a wonderful asset as she teaches people to hammer, cut, melt, polish, and twist silver into amazing creations. This instructor doesn't "Kidd" around when it comes to serious jewelry design. She has a whimsical side to her designs, as she pleats silver, winds it into graceful curves and coils. Her designs are stunning. Written by Glenwood Springs Center for the Arts.

July 7-11 Class Description: A workshop on chasing, engraving, and piercing metal. In this workshop we'll make chasing tools , tune up hammers and sharpen gravers, all the better to carve with. Using Bas Relief techniques we'll sculpt metal into ornamental patterns. Students should come with clear ideas of what they want to achieve and how these techniques will enhance their own work. They're encouraged to bring pieces of their own work (castings, blank bands, and stones). We'll lay out patterns on a band with tracing punches that they will make. Then drill and saw pierce, and with gravers we will shape the ornament. Then with texturing punches we'll shape and define the ornament. Students are encouraged to practice saw piercing by cutting out coins (at least 3). We will be making the series of chasing punches that will get you started on being able to create any ornament. Practice drawing the kind of ornament you want to carve,the more you understand a pattern the better you can sculpt it. Tom's website is www.sevenfingers.com/ if you want to see his work. (The images on his website do not do the work justice, it is remarkable.) email for more info, or with questions. We take all the major credit cards. Hope to see you this spring.
