learn how to form metal wire with jewelry pliers and delicate hammering
and string semi precious beads in this one-night only jewelry workshop
with deborah stein of bonbonoiseau. to make things easy and fun, we
will lend you pliers and create a kit for you which includes metal
wire, head pins, sterling silver earwires and enough beads to make
at least 2 pairs of earrings in class. plus you'll have the skills
to create many, many more! (psst! deborah is also going to bring stuff
to sell from her enviable stash!)
jewelry design genius deborah stein (the lovely lady behind brooklyn-based
bonbonoiseau) will be here to teach her signature "assemblage"
moves. learn how to work with basic tools to design and assemble jumprings,
find and measure chain, make wire findings and create wearable art
by incorporating vintage beads, charms, old jewelry and semi-precious
stones. the class will be structured in 2 parts: we'll provide all
the supplies you need for the first meeting and hold an in-depth discussion
re the supplies required for the second class. the second night will
be spent fashioning a finished necklace and/or bracelet for you to
wear home or give to a loved one. (psst! deborah will also be selling
well-loved items from her stash.)

a ringmaking workshop extraordinaire: make TWO types of sterling
rings: one a pre-made band that you will set with a stone of your
choice using a blazer torch (aka an intro to soldering), the other
a totally handmade band with texture. focusing on two styles of rings
means you'll pick up a number of jewelry-making techniques along the
way including basic soldering and fabrication (sawing, piercing, polishing,
etc.) no previous jewelry-making experience necessary.
