Sally Jean Alexander 9-4:30 Friday	803 - Hob-Knobbing	[back to quicklinks] $ 130 Plus $20 materials fee
Funky and artful doorknobs and cabinets can be yours for the taking! Imagine reaching into your “junk drawer”, opening your bedroom door, even grabbing a martini glass from a cabinet with a show-stopping knob. We’ll be soldering our knobs...and this is where perfection is NOT an option. The messier, the better! Using glass, photos, papers, gemstones, found objects and more, we’ll create one door-knob and one cabinet knob. Once you’ve tried it...you’ll be art-ing up all the knobs in your home. And when you run out...there’s your best-friends’ home, your sisters’ home, your office....this technique will launch a million artful accessories for the home! Supply List: --Round-Nose Pliers --Bent-Nose Pliers --Flat-Nose Pliers (with teeth) --Wire Cutters (small) --Scissors --Cutting Pad or Work Surface --Cookie-Sheet (at least 8x10) --Hand-towel or Apron --Pencil or Pen --Small Steel Bench Block (two if you have them) --Artwork (to put between the glass) in assorted small sizes from 1/2” x 1/2” and up --Found objects and gemstones (the flatter, the better) --Soldering Supplies (if you have your own soldering iron, rheostat, solder, extension cord, etc...please bring it) Materials fee includes:  Glass, door-knob and cabinet knob, copper tape, shared use of soldering supplies, etc. CLOSED - CLASS FULL
