join me in the adventure of creating unusual, organic hoops utilizing scrap silver, while exploring fusing, and adding unexpected texture. to incorporate movement, we will add bezel set stones to dance and sway beneath the hoops.
be prepared for some fussy soldering, but you will not be disappointed in the results.
let’s get hoopy!
please note: in my classes, i give students free rein on design, and course images shown here are a small sampling of where these techniques can be taken.
