FEATURED WORKSHOP Objects and Elements in Dufort, France! : : click here : :

...besides technique, my goal as a teacher is to open up my students enough to explore their own limitless potential as a creator and to reach a new plateau that has not yet been explored. My workshops are fun and intense. Participants walk with a good understanding of metalwork and at least one finished piece of jewelry

SUPPLIES
My philosophy in life is to keep things as simple as possible. Therefore a minimal amount of tools are used in any of my classes. Each class has a small supply list, but generally, what is required as far as tools go is tin snips, wire snips, round needle nose pliers and chain nose pliers. I usually provide the sheet metal and anything else that would take time to hunt down. Bring yourself, your ideas, your objects and your beads.

I love the idea of using found objects as beads. Anything can be used to create jewelry. Found objects, purchased objects, cut up objects, used or created objects. Anything that draws your attention and speaks to you can be objects used in jewelry. Sewing bobbins, paper and text, product labels, game pieces, hardware, pine needles, clock parts, computer parts, electronic parts, stones, bottle glass shards, rulers, light bulbs, keys, hair, soda cans, small toys, etc. etc. etc. Most people already possess a small collection of personal objects.
