This is the class that lampworkers and lampwork bead collectors have asked me to teach for the last 3 years. In this full day class you will learn my techniques for setting delicate lampwork beads in unique fine silver settings. You will learn dapping and punching techniques for end-caps, slider bar assemblies for barrel beads, hook connections for elongated barrel beads and my signature forceps style spinner bail for those (problematic, I don't know what to do with this amazing) disk beads. Class will consist of working with 3 professionally crafted lampwork blank beads made by JC Harrell and by the end of class you will be ready to set your own creations or those beads from your personal collection.
Pre-requisites: None
Skill Level: All Levels
Techniques: Metal Forging, Fusing, Riveting, Texture & Patina
Materials needed: Kit fee payable to Anne is $85
Tools for use in class will be provided.

Have you heard the one about fine silver being too expensive? Or, the
one about fine silver being to soft for jewelry construction? Let these myths about this amazingly affordable and structural medium be put aside and join me for a full day of fine silver chain making. In only a matter of hours I can help you can unlock, refresh or just fine tune your fine silver fusing techniques. I have 17 years of metals experience that I can share
with you. During this one day intensive, I will go over winding, cutting, joining, fusing, texturing, work hardening and patina for the chain that you will start and finish. By incorporating my kitchen table-top, Low Tech Metalsmithing™ techniques you too can stop buying ready made chain and finish off your own jewelry creations with chains that you have made yourself. The only limit to this technique is your own imagination.
Pre-requisites: None

Anne started her creative career over 25 years ago as a professional
lighting designer. Looking for another outlet for her artistic energies, Anne began teaching chain making and metal working approximately 13 years ago for just pure enjoyment. During those years, Anne found that the creative outlet provided by teaching as well as a consistent demand for her classes was too alluring to deny. Leaving lighting behind in 2003, Anne is now a full-time designer, teacher, and author.
