Hammered Metal Class and Fresh Art 2008

Hammered Metal Class Review
Betina Clark is our exceptional hammered metals teacher and she is always attracting a big crowd for her classes. Her latest class of 8 played with copper and silver wire. They learn how to manipulate the wire into desired shapes after a little time for sketching ideas. Once they have a handle on working with the wire, they hammer their creations to add dimension and harden the wire so that it will keep its form.

Here are a few shots from the class. It's a fun technique and very user friendly. Betina is always ready to help you finalize your piece or review possible designs. She is one popular Art Night Out teacher and a very talented jewelry herself. She will be teaching Sewn Metal Jewelry on Thursday night, July 31rst, from 6-9pm!
