Texture It!
with Michele Throne

CLASS DESCRIPTION
Texture is an important design element. Sometimes it’s a way to express something in your jewelry, sometimes it’s a way to hide a mistake, and sometimes it’s just fun! If you're interested in learning a variety of ways to approach texture than this is the class for you. Students will learn different methods to create texture using a torch, stamping tools, hammers, and flex shaft tools.
Please Note: This is a class for learning different ideas for texturing so a “finished project” is not part of the workshop.

Michele lives in the mountains and her work is inspired by nature and the human experience. To see Michele's work, visit her website, Sidhe Designs.

MATERIALS KIT (Instructor will provide for a fee) $30
