This past weekend, I did something that I have wanted to do for years and years! I took a class at Touchstone Center for Craft in Farmington PA. If you have never been, please check out their website. It is really incredible. I don't even know where to begin! The facility itself is really like a summer camp for creative folks - in the woods, cabin-like studio with tiny sleeping cabins. Really beautiful and I can't wait to go back! The class that I took was entitled "Imagery in Jewelry" Totally out of my comfort zone! (Hence the hilarious and totally TRUE map that a friend sent me.)
We learned etching, decals on enamel, using epoxy and various other ways to finish and add color to metals. For someone who LOVES metalwork and jewelry but no absolutely NOTHING about making or working with metal. I was in heaven. I was so jazzed (like over the top jazzed) to be learning how to cut and drill and manipulate materials that are very very different than the ones that I just everyday (felt, thread to be exact!) Now I just have to take photos of what I made to show and tell here.
Now I just have to figure out what course I want to take next!!!!
