End of Summer Session

Today marked the final class in the summer session of Dana Evans' metalsmithing class at the Workhouse Art Center in Lorton, VA.


This ring by Gwen encorporated a Peruvian blue opal in a handmade bezel setting. She created her own design that was etched into the silver, then created the ring shank, soldered them all together, and called it done. Great work!



Gwen also created this pendant with an acid-etched tabbed front and tube ensemble that also included some etching. Gorgeous piece!



Angie's gorgeous ring featured a handmade bezel with stamping around the edge. Another great job!



Barbara soldered these large earrings many times before the bezels were completely soldered around and onto the copper. Worth the effort and difficulty of working with copper. Awesome job!!



These earrings by Gayle were her first stone-set project! She designed, cut, and bezel-set the turquoises. Great job!!



Daphne's malachite ring features a background of acid-etched silver. Very complimentary and stunning!



This is a particularly beautiful etched seahorse by Molly. I have a feeling there are more to come??!

Fab job everyone!!
