Focusing primarily on cold connections and traditional hand tool techniques, play with a variety of forming and linking mechanics using a torch. Create color, collage and a few special fun tools out of hardware and ordinary materials. This workshop will explore creating jewelry with personal content through discussion, impromptu demonstrations and design excercises. Create a small variety of tools, many experimental pieces and one souvenir piece.
