Kinetic Jewelry
Learn how to make your jewelry do something! In this workshop students will learn ways to make brooches spin, rings expand, and necklaces reveal hidden chambers. Kinetic jewelry moves--using hinges, springs and other mechanisms, make jewelry come to life. It is possible to have pieces that can move, turn, twist, flip, rotate, open, stretch, pop, or even squeeze. Your imagination is the only limit!
Sarah Doremus has been exploring this concept in her work for many years. Please visit her website to see more of her artwork: www.sarahdoremus.com
