Fabricating with Square Wire, Part 1
Advanced Jewelry/Metals Class
Jan 30-March 20, 2019 8 week series on Wednesdays 9am-1pm
Instructor: Anne Wolf. Tuition: $320
Learn to fabricate complex geometric shapes using square wire. We'll have lots of brass to practice on as we create 3-dimensional shapes that can be used as multiples in a neckpiece design, as a bracelet, or even a ring or brooch. Great for perfecting your soldering skills, and the perfect time to jump into working with silver. Demos for specific constructions will be given, but participants are encouraged to also design their own unique shapes. Depending on complexity and time spent working outside of class, 2-3 finished projects is a feasible goal. List of recommended supplies emailed 2 weeks before class begins. Intermediate-Advanced.

You will then forge out the rod to become an elegantly patterned mokume bracelet. Copper/brass mokume is included in class fee, silver/copper and/or silver/copper/brass mokume will be available for purchase in class (silver/copper/brass shown at right). Repeat students can focus on more advanced patterns/projects that start with a twist. All levels welcome. Register.

Introduction to Japanese Metalworking Workshop - New!!
Visiting Artist Workshop - Ford Hallam

Visiting Artist Workshop - Ford Hallam
5 day intensive, March 25-29, 2019 - 9am-4pm
Instructor: Ford Hallam. Tuition $825 plus tool kit about $100 TBD
An introduction to classical Japanese metalworking. In Ford's words:
- "In this class I’ll begin by introducing the ‘kata-kiri’ chisel. This is a relatively simple chisel to make so serves a gentle introduction to the delicacies of chisel making. It’s also the most expressive of chisels in terms of the sorts of marks it can make. Traditionally it’s this chisel that was used create the beautiful chiselled pictures that mimic ink painting but in a creative metalworkers hands the possibilities are endless. Following on from the kata-kiri chisel we’ll tackle the basic ‘V’ chisel. This is quite a demanding form to make but it is pretty much the basic line making chisel in the toolbox with its use being the bedrock of inlay and carving technique. After having dealt with these two chisels we’ll move on to some basic wire inlay. We’ll make a few suitable tools for that process and have fun getting tiny threads of brass and silver wire stuck into minute grooves and channels. And while time won't allow for us to properly delve into the technique of ‘hon-taka-zogan’, or true raised inlay, I will be able to demonstrate that process for class participants as a taster for the future."
Uchidashi: The Basics Workshop - New!!
Visiting Artist Workshop - Ford Hallam
5 day intensive, April 1-5, 2019 - 9am-4pm
Instructor: Ford Hallam. Tuition $825 (plus uchidashi tool kit $225 payable separately).
A thorough grounding in the Japanese metal forming technique called uchidashi or 'pushing down.' In Ford's words:
"Uchidashi is sometimes described as being like Chasing and Repoussé but is actually quite different. It is best described as a form of metal raising with punches rather than a hammer and on pitch instead of steel stakes. This allows for quite high relief and complex forms to be worked up out of flat sheet. Traditionally, uchidashi was the process Japanese metal artists used to create menuki, the remarkable little sculptures that adorn the hilts of the Samurai sword. Pictured are the two exercises we’ll be using to introduce you to this exciting technique. I’ll also be showing you how to achieve that striking ‘fire’ patina on copper, ‘hi-do’."
The uchidashi tool kit is comprised of 15 punches, 1 scraper and 1 hammer. We'll be shaping and heat treating the punches as part of the class. You will leave the class with a full set of tools, ready to continue practicing the technique (just add your own pitch bowl). The toolkit is offered at considerable discount for being a class attendee. The set will be ordered directly from Michael Coffey - his contact details will be supplied after registration, and your kit will be waiting for you at Anneville. Register.

Torch fired enamel is a visual technique so you will spend some time watching Julie demonstrate the fusing and torch firing techniques. Julie will bring finished sample tiles showing color and technique results to aid in choosing your color and technique selections. Then the time is yours to sample and play with complimentary bare sample tiles. Once you are comfortable you will move to your project metal and make your actual earrings.

Fuse your own Mokume Gane Billet Workshop
June 12-14, 2019, 9am-4pm each day
Instructor: Anne Wolf. Tuition: $440
All supplies and materials except silver included; if you use silver, there will be an extra charge TBD.
Starting with copper, brass and/or silver 18 gauge sheet, participants will create their own mokume gane billet. We will fuse, forge and roll our billets using the more reliable solid-state diffusion bonded method. This is a complicated process using some pretty big tools, but everything will be covered step-by-step and you will leave with lots of mokume ready to pattern and all the details you would need to duplicate your own fusing set-up. (Or just take the class again when you want to fuse more mokume!) We are not finishing pieces or even patterning; we are just fusing and working the billet into usable material. Best for intermediate-advanced jewelry students. Register.

Steel & Gold - New!!
Visiting Artist Workshop - Bette Barnett
3-day intensive, August 23-25, 2019 - 9am-4pm
Instructor: Bette Barnett. Tuition $440 plus $50 materials fee payable in class.
Steel is an amazing metal – strong, light weight and malleable. One of the most fascinating characteristics of steel is its affinity for gold. Simply put, steel “loves” gold and marrying the two results in dramatic mixed metals jewelry that responds to today’s aesthetic for work that ranges from bold and rich to gritty and rustic.In this three-day workshop, you will learn how to create dramatic steel and gold jewelry. We’ll cover how to work with mild (cold rolled) steel and explore techniques required to create jewelry from steel, including sourcing, cutting, forming, texturing, patinating and finishing. During the workshop you will learn how to alloy and roll our own gold, torch-fuse gold to steel and apply gold to steel using the Keum Boo technique. At the completion of the workshop, you’ll have at least one finished piece and other in-progress work that you can complete in your own studio. You’ll also come away with the skills you need to create dramatic, eye-catching steel and gold jewelry.
Students must also bring 2 pennyweights of 24k gold casting grain (available from Rio Grande), more details sent after registration. Registration opens May 23 - gold and palladium members contact us for priority registration.

Mokume Gane Stamp Patterning Workshop
Saturday, January 19, 2019 from 9am-4pm
Instructor: Anne Wolf. Tuition: $140
Stamp patterning is the easiest, most direct method for creating your own unique mokume gane patterns. Each student in this one-day class will create their own unique stamp-textured mokume gane sheet, then use the sheet to create finished jewelry according to their experience level. Beginners will make simple earrings, while more experienced students can make a soldered pendant or begin a more complex piece. Copper/brass mokume is included in class fee, silver/copper and/or silver/copper/brass mokume will be available for purchase in class. Repeat students are welcome - guided repetition and practice are key to perfecting patterning skills. All levels. Sorry, class has passed. Join our waiting list for the next one.

Copper and Japanese Patinas Workshop
Saturday, February 9, 2019 from 9am-4pm
Instructor: Anne Wolf. Tuition: $140
The final step in finishing a mokume gane piece is to apply a patina to highlight the colors of the different metals. This can be a tricky business, and is often done in a rush at the end of a class. But not here! Spend a full day exploring the different ways to patinate copper and copper alloys - we go way beyond liver of sulfur. We'll cover the mysteries of getting copper red, how to tease out the most contrast between your copper and brass, and of course all about rokusho (yes, there will be grated daikon). Intermediate/advanced students, bring your ready-to-patinate work to this class. It doesn't have to be mokume, but should have some mixed metals, hopefully copper and silver (shakudo and shibuichi would be great too). We'll also have sheets of plain copper available for those just wanting to learn and practice the techniques and color possibilities. Sorry, class has passed. Join our waiting list for the next one.
