"Fantasy eye" pendant - three days workshop in silver |
It's a 3 days workshop packed with lots of different techniques, featuring an eye motif (hollow from the back), various, sculptural ornaments, which create a narrative context for the eye, and a bezel set stone (the shape of the stone is your choice).
The eye can be made into a dragon eye, as pictured, but also an eye of the ocean etc. - depending on your prefernce when comes to additional ornaments. Wonderful textures, interesting shapes, lots of tricks for creating secure openwork constructions in metal clay, semi hollow forms and working with wet coils - this is what this workshop is about. Every student will leave the workshop with their own, different „Fantasy eye”.
