Hello!
How is it Back To School season already? 😵 We've just finished up Summer Camp at The Crucible. I spent most of July teaching, recovering from a summer cold (the two are related), and doing three shows! I also got to help a couple create custom wedding rings, and cast in 18 karat gold. More on that to be shared on social soon I hope!
Big news: my newest class offering is finally on the schedule at The Crucible!
"Exploration in Chainmaking" meets once a week for 6 weeks, starting in October, and covers the basics of chainmail, decorative loop, and loop-in-loop chain. In the final two classes, students can choose any technique they've learned and create a full length finished chain. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and can make it to Oakland, you should for sure check it out!
Samples of chainmail, decorative loop, and loop-in-loop style chains, all of which will be covered in my new class!
Things In Progress
- I'm making my own fold clasps! Casting is done, now for finishing and mold-making
- I have suddenly learned wire weaving (as opposed to wire wrapping; similar but different) and I have ideas
- There could be a fresh round of SeaDragons coming up near the end of the month
