New Student Work

9/4/2017

0 Comments

 
At the end of every semester I take the the time to photograph my students' work - somehow the process is part of what makes a semester complete. After downloading and optimizing each image, I email them off to my students for their own use in promoting/sharing their work. This summer was so hectic what with SNAG, lots of ring orders etc. (and oh yeah getting married!) that I let the spring semester get away from me. So here now, just before fall starts, I present to you the work that stood out to me from both spring and summer semester at WCCPL (the local continuing ed school where I teach). It feels so good to finally get to this - sorry for the combination, it was special circumstances! Lots of techniques practiced and improved upon here, from soldering to tube-rivets.

Fun with rose gold and background billets

Recently a ring client asked if I could make a pendant for his fiancée to match the ring he'd ordered for himself. I love making gold jewelry other than rings, but don't generally do it except through commission. I liked how this one came out! Materials are 14k rose gold, 14k palladium white gold and sterling silver.
So, just spreading the word out there - any copper/brass/silver jewelry of mine can be ordered in gold instead - just ask!
And I had great fun with the photography - the background here is a stack of in-process billets made with silver and various exotic Japanese alloys.

Fall classes start September 6 and 11
In addition to my mokume workshops at Anneville, I also teach general jewelry/metals at WCCPL (West City Campus, Point Loma). With a class maximum of 20 and a large room full of professional equipment, it is a vibrant and social place to learn. Registration for these classes is through the school, not me! Just follow the links to register:

Jewelry and Metalworking - Advanced 
Mondays, 9am-1pm, September 11 - November 13 (10 weeks)
cost $300 - 30% price decrease from summer!

This semester we'll be using the format of a hinged locket to explore various techniques such as etching, small-scale soldering, hinges and clasps, and chain construction. Emphasis on developing your own unique designs. Work on the suggested project, or bring your creative ideas and works in progress.
Students new to me are welcome, but you should have basic jewelry/metalworking skills (soldering, sawing, filing, finishing, texturing, some forming).  Register.
  


Jewelry and Metalworking - Beginning to Advanced
Wednesdays, 6-9pm, September 6 - December 13 (14 sessions, holiday 11/22)
cost $314 - 30% price decrease from summer!

Learn the basics or expand your skills. This fall is all about soldering - we'll be making both a hollow-form pendant and a silver chain. We'll also cover texture techniques, and the basics of sawing, filing and finishing. Beginners are welcome - you'll receive lots of how-to handouts and instructions on purchasing a beginner toolkit on the first day of class. Register.

Wednesday Jewelry Fabrication Lab - First section
Wednesdays, 9am-1pm, September 6 - October 18 (7 sessions)

This lab is designed to give students more time in the studio to work on their current jewelry or metalsmithing projects. No new projects given or scheduled demos, but I'm happy to help with ongoing projects. Students must have taken jewelry classes at West City or with me within the past year.  Register.
