BASIC JEWELRY/METAL ARTS Instructor: Olivia Competente & David Casella

Develop or renew your basic skills in contemporary jewelry-making. Metal arts, at every level, is rooted in self-discovery. Technique will be applied toward inventing the new as well as recreating the old. Taking chances with the medium will tap into our inner voice. A discussion of materials and projects will take place at the first class meeting. Students will be responsible for purchasing materials for personal projects (which can be costly). New students will complete a flat project (pendant, broach, earrings) to learn the basics. Continuing and advanced students may move on to 3-D items such as rings and cuffs. NOTE Youth 15-17 may enroll with permission of instructor. Students new to the craft or studio must attend 1st class; speak to instructor before registering if necessary.
