IT HASN’T BEEN THE SAME WITHOUT…Studio Luna Verde | Hollow/Form: lightweight earrings with pizazz | Sunday, February 1, 2026 | 9:00 am until 5:00 pm (1-hour lunch)
$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!
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.
