Program:
You’ll learn how to design and produce elements to later assemble them into unique necklaces. Rings and earrings couldn’t be left apart, giving us the opportunity to work with multidimensional shapes and different textures.
Besides working with porcelain, you’ll also learn how to make simple findings in order to make jump rings and claps to link each other’s porcelain elements to create a necklace. We’ll use brass, but the same technique can be used with silver, if you decide to reproduce it for your future pieces.
This course will be divided into 3 stages.
Friday:
1- Demonstration and experimentation of different techniques to work with flat elements and textures. We’ll use white porcelain and black stained porcelain.
2- realization of the elements for two necklaces. We’ll anticipate for each piece the design and assembly process.
Saturday:
1- learning how to make rings and how to get the right size after the firing
2- how to make neriage rings
3- how to make earrings
The rings and the earrings will be fired directly at high temperature.
Sunday:
