Description: Discover the beauty of organic, molten textures in this hands-on jewelry class. Learn the art of reticulation—a technique that transforms silver, brass, and copper into dynamic forms with flowing, natural surfaces. You’ll experiment with heat, texture, and metal movement to create richly layered, earthy pendants that evoke the raw power of nature.
Once your forms are shaped and refined, elevate your pieces by embellishing them with tube-set gemstones in a variety of sizes. Explore design possibilities, develop confidence in working with mixed metals, and leave with a stunning necklace.
Materials included in price: Sterling Silver, Copper, Brass, Bronze, Gold Fill sheet, wire, tubing, faceted gemstones in a variety of sizes. Upgrade to gold option will be available +$45. *Note: should the market price of silver rise above $75/ozt, a surcharge will be imposed.
