Description:
New at the Brea Gallery, join instructor Michelle Gharibian for this exciting Jewelry workshop! Students will learn how to work with fine silver wire and unique beads to create their own one-of-a-kind earring designs. Michelle will teach students shaping and texturing techniques along with proper tool usage and safety so that they may continue to design outside of the classroom. Students will walk away from the class with two custom designed, handmade pairs of silver earrings as well as a silver chain-link bracelet.
