Kitchen Table Silversmithing: Earrings with BMB Designs - Powered By Arrow

Date Night Clothes & Fashion DIY Class

What’s Happening?

The newest addition to our very popular Kitchen Table Silversmithing class is all about earrings! You'll be making three pairs of earrings, learning about basic construction techniques and how to create your very own styles!

You'll learn to make french hooks from scratch and create a pair of mandrel shaped drops for the first pair. The second is a pair of textured hoops with a pad-less post. The third pair is a combination of a few techniques- you'll learn how to use premade bezel cups, texture precut shapes, attach posts with pads and set small stones.

There will be design options to choose from in your class kit so you can build beautiful earrings that match your style.

Material Kits are $40 (+tax) and are payable at class time via cash or card directly to Brandy.

This is a Beginner - Advanced Beginner level class

 
About Class Instructor, Brandy Boyd:
"I love teaching- there is magic in sharing knowledge and it is very important to me that the knowledge I’ve gained through study and experience is passed on to others. Making things is also very important to me- it’s in my blood as my grandmother and grandfather were both artists and makers, in addition to their ‘mainstream jobs’. I think making things and passing that knowledge on is a vital form of connection.

I’ve been teaching Metal Clay and metalsmithing classes for adult education programs since 2007, including classes at the National Ornamental Metal Museum. I have been a technical trainer in several of my ‘mainstream jobs’ since 2003 (2013 on it has been one of my primary job duties) so I am skilled at quickly assessing different learning types and working to accommodate those variations on the fly to ensure positive learning experiences for students. I’ve been making jewelry professionally since 1999, and prior to that, I made clothing and costumes (including a few award-winning ones!), including all the accessories, for myself, friends, and clients."
