Earrings: From Posts to Hoops
Join us for a fun and fast paced earring intensive and create a couple new pairs to wear home! Demonstrations consist of basic wire forging as well as surface texture options for metal sheet and wire, and types of connections including posts, earrings wires, and hoop earrings. Students will also learn to make various types of ear wires and how to solder on a post, and forge a hoop.
The instructor will bring her personal earring collection to show the endless possibilities for earring design, but a selection of her work can be found on her website moniquerancourt.com
