Treasure Necklace and Soldered Glass Charms—Robin Dudley-Howes
July 11 and 12, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
A swath of fabric from a treasured garment, a petal from your wedding bouquet, a marble from your grandfather. These are treasures that are unique to you and will become forever preserved in this special class. Along with learning how to cut glass, we will explore various techniques to encapsulate and preserve your precious treasures by learning techniques in soldering basic glass charms and uncommon objects to make into charms like dice, dominos, small china or bisque items (old doll arms etc), small pieces of a plate you couldn’t throw out, tiny vials filled with glitter and pearls. You get the picture. This is a great class for beginners and those who want to hone their soldering skills. Basic jump rings to attach to your necklace will be taught as well to bring it all together. Bring in a box of your favorite treasures and well see if we can make them into charms for your very own treasure necklace!
Class registration begins Friday, May 15 at 10 am. You can register by fax (619-297-9897), by phone (619-297-4110), or in person. We have so many great classes coming up with so many great teachers!
