Beads In Metalsmithing

Emily Wohlscheid, Online with Zoom Pro

$45/Members: $25

Prerequisite: Beginning Jewelry or equivalent
Many jewelry makers started out creating work with beads from a stash around the house. In this online class, you will learn how to use those beads to enhance your jewelry designs with metalsmithing techniques and minimal tools at home! Learn how to "set" a bead in negative space, use wire or sheet metal as a frame for a special focal bead, and several ways to use headpins to showcase beads. Suggested supply lists with resources and virtual handouts will be provided.
