Workshop Description: This class will start with the bracelet. Fabrication techniques and challenges will be covered first, followed by how and when to create bezels, set stones, add borders, etc. Diane will demonstrate engraving, showing students how to design, layout, and/or transfer patterns. Diane will demonstrate unique engraving techniques, including patterns that mimic set stones, beveling scrolls, creating sculptural flowers, etc. The buckle segment will cover similar topics but specialize in belt buckles. Time will be set aside for questions and answers, specific demo requests, and for students to try some of the engraving techniques and tools.
Materials to bring: Paper and notebook. Projects in the works or concept only.
