The Poetry of Motion – Kinetic Earrings
Tuesday, July 7 & Wednesday, July 8, 9AM-4PM both days
Studio 2 – Green Box Workshop
Are you ready to play with fire? Are you ready to add dimension, texture, and movement to your jewelry creations? Let’s get together and make some dynamic earrings that dance and sway. In this two-day workshop, learn how to make a variety of hollow forms, how to bezel set rose cut gemstones and other cabochons, and how to hinge it all together for movement into kinetic sculptures for your ears. You will walk away, or better yet, strut away, with at least one fantastic pair of kinetic earrings that are (almost) as unique as you are.
Ace McCasland, of Studio Luna Verde, wandered (and settled) into the shadow of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, after many years exploring and hiking and driving all over the western U.S. Experiences have included driving 1950s era tour buses for Green Tortoise Adventure Travel / performing for a year with a three ring circus / hiking into (and out of) the Grand Canyon so many times she’s lost count / living out of a ’72 Toyota Landcruiser for three (and a half) years while exploring the U.S. / and failing miserably at surfing on the Sea of Cortez in Baja California. She loves spicy chocolate, and lightning storms. Her largest creation thus far is having built her own studio, where she currently makes her eclectic jewelry and unabashedly embraces the art of imperfection.
