▪ All Things Earrings - Adult Jewelry Camp ▪
This 5-day class is for the advanced beginner to intermediate student and focuses on the fundamentals of jewelry design and execution for all things earrings! With stones, without stones, posts, wires, lever-backs or clip-ons....if you love earrings, then this five day class is the place to be!
You'll be working in fine and Sterling and Argentium silvers. 24 karat gold Keum boo foil along with instructions of how to apply it will be available for those of you who wish to add a touch of gold to your earrings. You'll also take home fullcolor, information-packed tutorials for the week's projects.
A complete tool list and optional materials will be sent a couple weeks prior to camp. However, all tools used during the week will be available for you to borrow during the camp, so there's nothing to buy except an apron, vision assist if applicable and a Sharpie marker with your name on it!
Recommended tools to bring to the class:
- Round nose pliers
- Flat nose pliers
- Chain nose pliers
- Flush or semi-flush cutters that will cut up to 12 gauge wire
- Ball peen or chasing hammer
- Mandrels of different sizes (knitting needles and round writing pens work well for this)
- Needle files
- 6 inch ruler
- Soft tape measure
- Steel bench block
- Sharpie® or other indelible pen
- Hand towel
- Polishing cloth
- #000 Fine steel wool
Some tools will be available to borrow; however, I highly recommend bringing your own tools if you have them. I typically have quality tools available for purchase.
A separate materials fee will include the necessary supplies to complete all class projects. A variety of supplies will also be available for purchase. And, of course, you may bring your own. You'll also take home a complete written tutorial.
