Join MAD’s 2015 artist-in-residence Amy Lemaire for an online intensive jewelry workshop inspired by Amy’s wearable glass sculptures. Create a set of unique jewelry using readily available materials sourced from your home and surroundings. Participants will learn about different types of adhesives, choosing the right findings, strategies for transforming found objects into pins, earrings, and beads, and embellishing designs. Amy will share a few pieces from her collection that celebrate the transformation of found materials into wearable sculpture. At the end of the workshop, participants will present their work. The intensive workshop is for ages 18 and up and for all skill levels. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants.
Approximately 10 found objects (smallish, like the size of a pushpin or earring). For example: buttons, beads, figurines, gears, interesting pieces of stone, wood, cardboard, plastic caps or toys). Look around the house, office, etc. for inspiration.
