Workshop – Silver-Wear™ Art Jewelry

Wednesday, December 6, 9:00 a.m.—1:00 p.m.

Instructors’ Website: Keith Stephens and Jan Jowers-Stephens

Class Size Limited to 8 Students

NOTE: This workshop is being held at Keith and Jan Stephens’ Studio (rather than at the SoBo location). Map is below. Be aware that the studio is on the second floor of Jan’s home and does not allow wheelchair access.

The August workshop sold out so quickly that you have asked for another chance to take this exciting class this year. Here it is!

Learn the art of repurposing beautiful vintage silverware into wearable art jewelry from Master Jewelry Artists Jan and Keith Stephens. In this workshop, students will design and construct bracelets, rings, earrings or pendants from beautiful vintage forks, spoons, knives, butter knives and other unique serving pieces. Students will learn a variety of techniques including how to bend, polish, buff, set stones, texturize metal, stamp, patina, make cold connections and do simple wire work.

KIT COST: $35 per student. The instructors will have kits that you will need to purchase directly from them on the day of the workshop. Your kit will include all of the materials for all the projects. The kit cost will cover the cost of all supplies for the workshop projects, including specific materials such as vintage silverware, wire, cabochons, beads, vintage costume jewelry pieces, findings, consumables, use of tools and all workshop handouts. Each student will make 2-3 pieces of beautiful “Silver Wear” jewelry in the 4 hour workshop.

Students may need to use glasses or other vision magnification so they can see fine detail. Additional materials and tools can be purchased at fair market prices at the end of class for completing additional projects at home.

Members $75 / Non-members $95
