One hour pre-recorded live stream video class available now
Instructor: Anne Wolf. Tuition: FREE
Anne shows us a few patina samples and talks a bit about her recent chasing workshop with master metalsmith David Huang. Since Covid has the Lab temporarily closed, Anne also provides ideas for doing jewelry metal arts at home with simple tools and materials that you might find on hand. As Anne explains, she taught jewelry metal arts at Southwestern College here in San Diego for many years. Her young students had tons of great ideas but not much money so Anne would help them set up their home studios by re-purposing things like nails, claw hammers, power drills and 2x4s. We are planning to delve further into that topic in future videos with a look at different types of torches and more. As with our previous videos, we were thrilled to see online friends join in the discussion and we got some great tips! When you watch the recording, be sure to check out the comments. As is our tradition, at our last class meeting we always have a raffle to celebrate our session and our winners tonight were Ivonne, Gabriel,  and Thida - congratulations! We will be sending you some cool prizes by email. We will also be in touch soon about our upcoming class offerings...that's right. Covid can't keep us down! In the meantime, if you missed any part of the live stream, you can watch the recorded video whenever it's convenient.

We hope that wherever you are, you're staying safe and looking after one another. Until we can see you again in person... much love from Anneville Jewelry Lab!

While everyone around us is canceling events, we feel it is important to stay connected in the ways that we can. In a spirit of adventure and as part of our effort to lessen the impact of COVID-19, we held the last meeting of this semester's Independent Study class online (instead of at the Lab) as an interactive live stream. Anne shared her recent patina adventure with master metalsmith David Huang and took us step-by-step through a demonstration using easy patinas to try at home - some with chemicals you probably already have. And just like a usual class, participants asked jewelry/metals questions - only this time it was by logging in to Anne's Facebook page and commenting. Both Anne and our regular Independent Study instructor Julie were on hand to answer the great questions that came in. We have a lot of work to do on the quality and our set up but were excitedly working on those issues and our goal is deliver top-quality presentations for you, our beloved students. Andra Tutto Bene! In the meantime, watch our first live stream.
