From the simple to the complex, who doesn’t want to add a little color to their jewelry, or maybe your own patterns and images?

This class focuses on Deb Karash's technique for drawing on metal with colored pencils. Learn to add color and excitement to your work with my special technique.

In this 5 day class, you should finish at least one pendant and several sample pieces. Fabrication techniques will be covered as time allows.

All levels are welcome. If you have taken Drawing on Metal in the past, we will build on those skills and talk more about design.
