Resin - It's Not Just Glue with Jennifer Knollenberg

CLASS DESCRIPTION
We've all been taught that it's wrong to use resin aka "glue" to mount stones into jewelry. In this class we will explore using resin in many different circumstances to embellish, accentuate, protect and add dimension and intrigue to jewelry. Also you can embed all sorts of fun things including stone and found objects into your designs. Bring the play back into your jewelry with this technique.
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.
