Spring was a fun semester, full of fold-forming , stone-setting and box-making. Lots of creativity here; especially Juan's fold-form fish and Yoko's hairpin!

What a fun semester at West City Center, Point Loma. The all-levels class focused on rings - bent, soldered, carved, with stones and without. I was particularly pleased with the creativity of some of the beginners - check out the wearable brass fish ring by Andrea, top center. In the advanced class we worked with bimetals, exotic Japanese alloys, shell-forming and marriage of metals. It was a lot to absorb, but many came up with some amazing projects, especially Julie with her celestial bracelet and Chanalin's bee! The spring advanced class will include some time to catch up and practice the techniques learned in the fall and last spring (vessel fabrication).  This semester at West City Point Loma we focused mostly on vessel fabrication, with a little etching and stone-setting thrown in for good measure. These fabulous copper boxes were created by beginning students. Advanced folks worked on fairly complex vase and box construction -- check out Diane's sweet silver box pictured in center. I so enjoyed sharing my knowledge of larger scale work with a great group of students. Hope to offer the advanced vessel class again next spring.  We just wrapped up a great semester, as you can see from the unique, creative and skilled work below. Students from both my schools, West City Center Point Loma and Southwestern College, are represented.
