Embracing the Sacred
$145 all-day
class
Once again, we embrace the regal women of history….
During this 6-hour class
I hope to inspire you to create a beautiful spiritual, or theme of your choosing
antiqued “time-worn” pendant.
While applying inks, chalks and paint to further color and antique your
image. You may also want to
further embellish using small medals, crosses, rhinestones and gems of your
choosing. An ornate reproduction
antique brass frame will cover your bezel and then it will be sealed behind
resin.
In the second phase of
our projects I am so excited to share my techniques in teaching you to create
gorgeous forged metal, hand-worked, distressed crosses; you will create 2 to 3,
or more. The ideas are endless in
designing and embellishing; while securely soldering your created crosses from
start to finish!
If time permits and you
want you can create a complete necklace while adding beads & crystals from
your own source to compliment your masterpiece!

Let’s

Queen image; Mother Mary, Marie Antoinette, or the Queen of your own Heart to
create beautiful ornate Gilded Crown Pendants.

complete your necklace design you will be using your favorite beads and
crystals to compliment your one of a kind crowned pendants.
Paste Flux
“In the 18th and 19th
centuries, women in charge of their estates wore a decorative clip of long
chains holding important household items about the waist. These items were
things like the key to a pantry where valuable tea, spices and food were kept;
a small notebook; sewing items; a magnifying glass; or maybe a watch, nail
file, or compass. The earlier waist-hung items were referred to as “equipage”,
later evolving to “chatelaine” in the early 1800s.”

In this six- hour class,
we will be inspired by past historical ornate beauties to create our own
individualized “Chatelaine”.
I look forward to sharing one version of how I make my beautiful reproduction hand-sculpted
*embellished, painted, antiqued hands. Using items from your vintage *destash…you will
repurpose and create interesting and romantic dangles. Our focal Pendant/Holder will be
created
while repurposing beautiful *Art Deco Shoe, Dress, and/or Fur Clips from your individual collections ~ I will share techniques to tastefully and securely solder embellishments while respecting the historical nature of these beautiful vintage gems! We will shape, manipulate, forge, work-harden wire and solder to hold your created hands, tiny *lockets, vintage shoe buttons and gems to just name a few. You may want to mix it up a bit and design in “steam punk” fashion! This is such a fun and exciting class to let your artistic ideas fly!
