Inspired by Johannes Vermeer’s iconic painting Girl With A Pearl Earring, you will learn about the artist, his style, and his work. We will discuss the basics of pearls, what to look for and how to take care of them. You will learn how to identify sterling silver and how to care for it. You get to choose which set of earrings and necklace that you want to make: diamonds or circles.
Then you too, can be the Girl with a Pearl Earring!
Supplies:
All supplies are included to create one pair of earrings and one necklace.
Refreshments:
This class is BYOB (bites and beverages). 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.
