The Expressive Jeweler - Inspiration to Manifestation
Lesley Aine McKeown
Sept 2-3 and 9-10am
Each Sat for 4 weeks
12:00pm -2:30pm EST
Zoom Virtual Online Class
You’ve probably taken a ton of classes, learn how to make a project, often the teachers work. You may find this fun but ultimately unfulfilling. This class is not project based, it's about what is personal to you. All art begins with inspiration. In this class we will begin by looking at how what you see and how you feel influences your work and how to use design principles to create jewelry that is your voice not someone else's. You will be encouraged to push yourself and design a piece outside your comfort zone. You will be guided to explore techniques you have not used before. It will be hard, but it will also set you free!
