Cut, score, fold, form, raise, forge, texture and solder are all words you are familiar with when working in your studio. Now combine and enlarge to create unique pieces of jewelry and hollowware that will explore the use of the hollowware form in the production of jewelry and tableware. The class will focus on the many possibilities and opportunities to create unique jewelry and tableware "objects of art" when working with the hollowware form. Students will have an opportunity to work on jewelry concepts including bangles, pendants and lockets or explore large-scale hollowware forms including vessels and teapots during this "hands-on" workshop.
