The wonderful Suzanne Williams is coming back to the studio for a deep dive into creating dimensional pieces! Over four days, she'll demonstrate how to use a variety of methods to join sterling silver components in layers to create three-dimensional jewelry. We'll learn how to plan and develop a design for each method, how to create layers of pierced silver (and other metals for mixed metal pieces) that work together on different levels, and how to assemble or join the 2 or 3-layered constructions. And we'll learn how to plan for each reveal; how to create optimal spacing; and how to incorporate meaningful connections for chain and stones. 

This is an intermediate to advanced skills class, and students should have solid foundational fabrication skills including soldering, sawing, filing, and finishing. Absolutely everything necessary to complete the project is provided in this workshop – all tools, materials, and equipment! Bring a pen and notebook for note-taking and eye magnification if required, but otherwise just come and have fun!

About Suzanne Williams

Suzanne is a Colorado resident. She graduated from Colorado State University in 1980 with a degree in printmaking and later worked as a graphic artist, illustrator, fine artist, and technician in art/bronze casting foundries before bringing the many facets of her art background together to begin her jewelry-making career in 1990. She has shown her work in galleries, art festivals and shows. Suzanne is always working on developing and applying new techniques and approaches to creating her signature 3-dimensional jewelry such as designing and fabricating unconventional clasps and closures for her work. Hand fabricated clasps and closures have always been an integral part of her designs, but in the past few years she has intensified her exploration and development of new and interesting ways of joining jewelry elements together. She has also more recently been teaching workshops. That includes further exploring and sharing novel and unconventional approaches to the design, functionality and creation of clasps and closure methods.
