Argentium Granulation Workshop
with Jennifer Knollenberg
|
Date: Saturday, October 20, 2018
Time: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Location: Boulder Metalsmithing Association 4919 Broadway St, Unit 15 Boulder, CO 80304 Cost: $145 BoMA members OR $195 for non-members (difference payable in class) Materials fee: $25 |
CLASS DESCRIPTION
The art of granulation is as ancient as it is beautiful. All fundamentals will be covered in this hands-on course from fusing to making granules. Because Argentium works more like gold than traditional sterling silver, granulation is well suited to the metal.
Consider taking this class along with the Hydraulic Press and Keum Boo the next day to expand your granulation design repertory.
PREREQUISITES
Previous metalsmithing and Argentium experience recommended but not required.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Jennifer was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado. As is often the case, Jennifer did not begin her adult life as an artist. Her early roots began in chemistry and food science where she developed a love of creating art with food. Jennifer feels that her creative spark was truly ignited when she completed the graduate jeweler program at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts and apprenticed with a San Francisco area jewelry designer.
