FALL2019 SWEET TALISMAN

October 31, 2018

Sweet Talisman

Taught by:

Page Sargisson

Offered:

Thursday September 12th
Friday September 13th

Experience level: All Levels

When it comes to making jewelry, there is a true delight in putting your own marks into the piece that reflect your personal iconography. Yes, your imprints give the metal its sweet impression.

One way to do this is through the magic of wax.  And, as there are quite a few kinds of wax, we are lucky to have Page share her years (and years) of knowledge and experience that will ensure you get right to the good stuff.

In this class, we will be focused on making a sterling silver talisman to transform into a decorative key ring, a pair of earrings, or a pendant or a ring — whatever you would like your talisman to be.

Cut
Carve
Have Fun!

You are going to be making a gorgeous, one of a kind talisman whose distinctive marks were achieved through the use of files, woodblocks, pine cones, saws or whatever your imagination prompted you to imprint onto the wax.

Page will be bringing lots of different wax types so you can see the different effects each one makes. She will also have on hand a number of files and saws, some indian woodblocks and other fun items so we can experiment with various textures, impressions and patterns in the wax.

You are encouraged to bring your own found objects to use for pattern-making, such as old buttons, or other textured surfaces that you could take impressions from.

When class ends, Page will take your wax mold back to her Brooklyn, NY studio where she will cast your talisman for you.  It will ship directly to you from NY within 4 weeks of the end of class.

Kit fee: 45 USD

Kit Fee includes the use of quality silver for the talisman and mailing costs for returning your beautiful finished piece to you.
