A workshop to stretch your thinking and learn alternative techniques to create exciting, innovative jewelry.
How do you keep beadwork and jewelry design essential and alive?
In this week-long series of workshops, for both Beginner as well as more Intermediate level beaders or jewelry makers alike, we will be examining traditional Etruscan jewelry, and how we can understand it from the vantage point of good jewelry design principles.
We will learn and practice some basic techniques of bead stringing and bead weaving.
Then we will do some thinking, planning and experimenting with these techniques and principles in order to create contemporary interpretations of two or three Etruscan pieces of jewelry to see what we can achieve.
