Basse Buller-Inspired Fold Formed Leaves and Pods Jewelry Class

April 13, 2025
10 am-5 pm

Learn a new skill of metalwork and create leaves and pods into beautiful copper jewelry. Artist Brandy Boyd will walk you through how to use basic metal manipulation techniques to create your pieces, the process of filing and hammering, and how to color your pieces through torches and chemical dips. Patinas will be available for use in class, and all materials are provided to make several pendants and one pair of earrings. Most students will have additional time and materials to complete additional pieces and findings will be available for purchase for your extra pieces. 

We do ask that you bring a steel block to reduce sharing time in class. Any size will work, but 4×4 is standard. If you have a cross-peen or riveting hammer, texture tools, specialty hammers, files or shears, please bring them as well. Tools will also be available for purchase in class by way of credit card to the instructor.
