Learn to make unique jewelry from scraps of wood that are too pretty to throw out but too small for larger projects. You can use pen blanks and other bits of beautiful wood that are inexpensive because of their small size. The process is easy, and you can wear the results home from class (or have them ready to give to a special someone).
In this one-day workshop you'll use laser, lathe, and saw to create necklaces, earrings, brooches, and other adornments. Along the way, you'll learn how to:
- Safely hold and cut tiny pieces
- Turn earrings on the lathe
- Saw small, precise shapes with shop-made fixtures
- Use the Epilog laser system to cut and engrave intricate details
- Inlay metals into your creations to add visual interest
- Attach eye pins, ear wires, and posts to your work
- Apply an instant finish
Parents, this is a great way to share your love of woodworking with your children (11 or older), in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
No wood shop experience? No problem. Come get your feet wet. This lively class will also interest experienced woodworkers, who will find generally useful holding, cutting, and decorating techniques. Come join us for a day of unusual woodworking.
This class is limited to 6 people to ensure individual attention.
