Identity and Material Exploration

This workshop will explore ways of combining metal components with other materials to create wearable pieces that express your interests, identity, and representation of the body. We will explore deconstructing and constructing various kinds of materials: raw materials, industrial and domestic items, natural components, old and used objects, etc. Students are encouraged to bring materials from home. Technical information will include soldering, various pin mechanisms, and  cold connections such as rivets and tab settings. We will also cover the basics of photographing your work. All levels.
