Jewelry Design in Wood, Stone, and Metal
Carl Pittman
Tuition $1,200
Code W1110-26
This unique and dynamic jewelry design workshop incorporates wood, semiprecious stones, and metal to create unique pieces that make a fashion statement. Beginning in the design stage, students are guided through the process of transforming jewelry ideas into tangible forms by shaping wood into form. Each piece highlights the contrast of the warmth and organic flow of wood grain against the luminosity, color, and depth of semiprecious stones. Emphasis is placed on strategies to propel imagined designs into finished jewelry.
