Susan Lenart-Kazmer 9-4:30 Thursday	1151 - Prayer Box Series	[back to quicklinks] $ 135 Plus $32 materials fee
Build distinctive personal metal structures in a jewelry art form that is reminiscent of past cultures. In India, these forms are meant to hold special prayers, goals or messages and bring them to fruition. As an American artist, I construct these forms using an array of fabricated metal, wire and found objects. Cold connection techniques include attachments by drawing a bead, cold knots, dimensional rivets and alternative cold join forms. Learn an array of new ideas, be introduced to a variety of new tools and finish a pendant prayer box. As time allows build a dimensional wire ring structure and metal forms and work with resin.  Supply List: hammer, anvil, needle nose pliers, chain nose pliers, wire snips, tin snips (or jewelers saw, blades and bench pin), small file, optional- interesting objects, additional silver wire, (I will provide copper wire and sheet metal as you need) Materials fee includes:  silver round bezel, transparent paper forms, use of resin, some 18 gauge silver wire for ring form, sheet metal, copper wire rivets and expendables.
