McKim will guide you through making this piece of jewelry using a wide variety of techniques and materials. You are welcome to bring a small found object or treasure to incorporate in your creation, and/or an image you would like to dissect and depict in your piece of jewelry. Techniques will include rivets, tabs, texture, soldering, sawing, and tube setting small, faceted gemstones.

Students will begin the process with a drawing and then learn to create highlights and shadows, as well as how to mask areas of the project with wax. Supply list prints on receipt. 2 sessions.
