During this workshop students will use miniature
stakes and specially formed tools to raise and fabricate
miniature gold and silver vessels, unusual beads and other
hollow objects for jewelry. Those with experience in chasing
and repousse will produce three-dimensional sculpture beads
depicting animal heads or human faces. Granulation or enamel
can also be applied to the vessels. |
