All that glitters IS gold (and silver, and Stony Creek granite too!)

Register now for a range of workshops held in person and online this week!

 

2 Fridays, October 15 & 22 – ONLINE

10:00am-1:00pm

Instructor: Marcy La Bella

 

There is much to be learned from the great masters at any level in our painting journeys. This workshop will focus on works of Braque, Matisse, Bonnard and Kandinsky. Create work in watercolor or goache and mixed media by adding color pencil, pastels, water soluble crayon or watercolor pencils to the mix. Discuss process, technique and ways to have a successful painting.

 

Saturday, October 16, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Instructor: Lisa Arnold

 

Students will begin by choosing from collage materials provided by the instructor. Starting with 1 or 2 illustrations, what follows will be a natural process of layering and juxtaposing papers, photos, illustrations and drawing materials on heavy board. Students may also bring their own materials.

This workshop is ideal for anyone who wants to step up their bench working skills and expand their metal palette. We will cover the different alloys and work mostly with 14k yellow gold. Instructor will demo soldering gold to silver, how to solder gold bezels and set stones. We will also make gold bezels and learn to add gold settings to jewelry; also, recycling old gold jewelry by melting items down. Surface embellishment such as keumboo will be covered.

Are you ready to work with gold and add accents to your silver? We will cover the different alloys of gold, the different colors available from yellow gold, white gold, pink gold and how to solder. We will do some keumboo on patterned silver sheet, make a gold bezel on a silver back, work with 18kt over sterling bi-metal, and gold-filled wire and sheet. Adding gold to silver brings out the beauty of metal and a lovely 2-tone effect.
