Jewelry, Architecture, and Artifacts
5 Day workshop w/ Rachel Reichert

July 09 – 13, 2018 (5 Day + 6 Night)
Students arrive July 08, 8pm, leave July 14
All Levels

Looking for inspiration in heirloom artifacts and historic architecture, we’ll create jewelry that explores the intimate spaces and objects found in Atlanta, Idaho. Basic silver fabrication techniques— including sawing, filing, riveting, soldering, and die forming— will inform our approach to constructing rings, brooches, pendants, and small sculptures. We’ll survey often-overlooked spaces and their contents.  Every corner, every room, and every house will be our muse.  

 Students can expect to create samples and one or more finished pieces.

This fee includes workshop, lab fees, and lodging for six nights.
