Botanically Inspired Pendant & Necklace

Use inspiration from Allerton to create unique pieces of jewelry at Botanically Inspired Pendant & Necklace on Saturday, Sept. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in The Studio.

In this beginning jewelry class taught by fiber artist Billie Theide, students will work with precious metal to create a unique, one-of-a-kind silver pendant inspired by the plants at Allerton. Students will learn to make a mold, work with raw silver, torch fire, patina and finish. Participants will also learn how to set up a home jewelry-making studio.

Course fees include 15 grams of silver, silver jump rings, a sterling silver chain and clasp, safety goggles, and a folder of handouts for future reference.
