Fabrication 3

Fabrication 3

Picture
Developed and taught by award-winning metalsmith and designer Julie Sanford, Fabrication 3 is a continuation of the fundamental jewelry making techniques learned in Fabrication 1 & 2

Fabrication classes are offered in 3 hour 5 week sessions or 2 full day Intensives. $225 includes all materials.
Fabrication 3 begins with a concentration in hand fabricated chains and clasps.  Students will forge, saw, hammer, twist, texture and/or solder copper wire to create two or more chains. We will then work on bezel setting skills by creating a  bezel cup for a large or free form cabochon stone. After an exploration of design principles and practice, the bezel cup can be used in the creation of a pendant, ring, bracelet or piece of your choice. 

Class fee of $225.00 includes all materials to make copper link chains and a copper bezel cup. Tools are provided for use. Additional materials, gemstones and sterling silver are available for purchase. 
 Fab 3 is for students who have taken Fabrication 1 & 2.

Students may want to bring a notebook for note taking and should bring a sketchbook of choice for design ideas. All tools and materials are provided. Studio attire includes sturdy, closed toe shoes and garments you don't mind getting dirty or an apron.  Long hair should be tied back. We have safety glasses but you can bring your own. Bring reading glasses if you need them for close-up work. ​
