pin using found objects, old treasures, doo dads, broken watches, earrings where
you are missing the other piece, buttons, broken chains or anything of a light
weight. In the workshop your found objects will be epoxied to a base creating a
unique and meaningful piece of jewelry art to wear. Anyone can do it - no prior

found objects in you home, Susie will provide pin backs, epoxy, bases and random
jewelry pieces.

Have you ever wanted to work with fold, but never did because of cost or lack
of know-how? No problem! Learn to alloy your own gold and fabricate jewelry.
In this workshop the student will start with pure gold; learn to alloy the gold
to various karat grades, fabricate gold sheet and wire and time permitting, make
a basic piece of jewelry. The grades and properties of gold solders will also
be discussed. Experience and basic metalworking skills are required including
soldering.
The student should expect to have one ounce of 24 K gold for use in the class.
As gold is expensive, the student should check the current price of gold as a
guide to the cost of materials for the class.
Good eyesight is required.
