Mourning Jewelry in various forms is a tradition that spans centuries. Join 1820 Col. Benjamin Stephenson House on a journey through the history of mourning jewelry in the Federal/Georgian Period.

 In this class, we will explore the purpose of mourning jewelry, iconography, motifs, and designs used during this period and learn some of the techniques involved in creating these pieces. Students will create pieces of jewelry using various techniques and materials as well as explore contemporary expressions of Momento Mori.

Workshop includes:
• All materials, including blank jewelry, motifs to use, artificial hair, tools, and supplies to share.
• Additional double-sided pendants for purchase.

 Optional Items to bring:
• Any of your personal jewelry, beading, or other crafting tools for small crafts (Cricut/silhouette tools work well)
• A lock of your or a loved one's hair (if you want to include it). *This is not the intricate hairwork of the Victorian period. Federal-period hairwork was a simple locket, simple braid, or scattered pieces of hair.

 What you will take home:
• One completed double-sided or two single-sided mourning pendants with brooch attachment

Optional: Send a loved one’s photo by September 30, and we will turn it into an image that has the appearance of a Georgian miniature you can use in your piece.
