10/2 Beginning Art Metals: Cold Connections with Kaki Crowell-Hilde

This is a 5 week long workshop. Oct 2nd-16th-30th, Nov 6th-13rd

We will explore a variety of ways to texture copper, brass, nickel silver. We will learn how to drill, saw those pieces into shapes and use cold connections to construct a small sculptural brooch or necklace. Finishing techniques will be discussed. Our goal is to have a basic understanding of a wide range of processes and the tools and equipment to accomplish those goals.

She has an MFA from University of North Texas in Fibers and another MFA from East Tennessee University in Metalsmithing and Jewelry.
