(Re)Create 4-6 ART DIVAS using collage, stamps and paint pens. These funky collage ART Women will transform art history into fresh art HERstory!!! All levels are welcome. All materials are provided.

Fold-forming is a quick but surprising way of shaping and texturing metal. By hammering on folded metal in particular ways, a wide range of shapes can be easily created. For this workshop, each student will have a chance to create their own pair of copper fold-formed earrings with silver ear wires. All tools and materials are included. No experience is necessary!

In this workshop we will create a small Otsu-e Omamori charm to hang near the entry of your home. We will first wood burn and paint the wood and then use cord to create a traditional Japanese omamori knot to hang the charm. This workshop will cover basic wood burning techniques and how to make smooth lines as well as how to correct mistakes when they occur. The students will not need to bring anything with them, however, if they would like to bring their own wood burning tool or paints that is perfectly fine.

In this beginner friendly workshop, students will learn basic metalsmithing skills like torch soldering, forming and texturing to make an array of ring bands. You will have the option to polish your rings or give them an antique finish. We will primarily work in copper and brass, with the option to purchase silver wire during the workshop. Students should bring their aprons and masks.
