Ace McCasland | Hollow / Form: lightweight earrings with pizazz | Saturday | August 8, 2026 | 8:00 am until 4:00 pm
$255.00
hollow forms are a great way to add volume and three-dimensionality to your pieces, while minimizing materials and keeping things on the light side.
we will be creating dynamic earrings using “open” hollow form elements that can be used in multiple ways, and be surprisingly lightweight.
i will show you my unconventional approach to hinges for the ultimate in movement.
to finish it all off, i will introduce you to a unique way to create and attach your own hand fabricated ear wires.
i will unapologetically encourage asymmetry, and often insist on “paying attention to your backsides.”
if you know, you know.
if you don’t, come take the class!
WE WILL RELEASE SEATS FOR PURCHASE THE MORNING OF REGISTRATION.
