Time: 6:00PM - 8:00PM
Fee: $60 (all supplies included)
Instructor: Sherri Lane
Location: Kemp Center

Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s iconic painting Starry Night, you will learn about the artist, his impressionist style, and some of his most famous works. We will talk about Van Gogh’s use of brushstrokes to convey images and show movement. You will learn how to identify sterling silver, and how to care for it. You will choose which pair of earrings you want to make as well as your accents: lapis or pearls. These are perfect to wear yourself or to gift to someone special.

Supplies:
All supplies are included to create one pair of earrings.
Note: you may wish to bring eye magnification as you'll be working with very small parts.

Refreshments:
This class is BYOB (wine and beer only). Bring your favorite wine or light snack and enjoy a relaxed and fun creative evening.

About Your Instructor:
Sherri Lane started making jewelry 30 years ago but found her niche when she took a metalsmithing class at the local university. She has developed her metal fabrication skills and techniques by working with teachers and mentors of different styles, which always bring a new perspective to her creations. Her organic, freeform designs combine metals, shapes and textures into wearable works of art. Her aim as a jewelry designer and fabricator is to make statement pieces that are versatile for travel, wherever you are going.

She works in her Texas studio, creating jewelry, vessels and sculptures.
