Are you feeling called to metalwork and want to start with a simple, structured project that also has some room for creativity? This is a great class for beginners and just in time to make a special holiday gift! In this two weekend intensive class, students will make two pairs of sterling silver earrings: one with posts and one that dangles. Skills taught will include sawing, piercing, bending ear wires, texturing, soldering, polishing and finishing. We will talk about effective design and reflect on the work as a group. Creativity is encouraged and supported!
Erica is a multi-passionate silversmith, SoulCollage® facilitator, and progressive art educator, based in Hunterdon County NJ. She earned her BA in art therapy from New Jersey City University in 2012, and studied mental health counseling and art therapy on the graduate level at Caldwell University. As an exhibiting silversmith, Erica is fascinated by the deep, personal connection people form with jewelry. These objects hold meaning, memory and even identity as they become interwoven into the lives of their wearers. In her work, she strives to honor the age-old practice of body adornment as a meaningful ritual of empowerment and transformation. She exhibits her silver work at various art markets, music and yoga festivals, and renaissance fairs all over the northeast USA.
