Are you looking for a way to make your jewelry stand out from the crowd? We will show you new techniques to create unique kilnformed glass pendants, earrings and pins incorporating a variety of both fine and base metals. We will use gold, silver and copper in several forms – leaf, foil, mesh and wire - in a wide range of new and interesting techniques.

We will demonstrate methods of designing with these metals to cause reactions in the glass, and how to incorporate hammered metals and clear frits into your jewelry. Various coldworking methods for jewelry will be covered, as well as fire-polishing techniques for a professional look.

Basic glass jewelry experience is preferred. Intermediate level.
