Master Class: DeSigN – dEsiGn – DesIgN!

Instructor: Thomas Mann

August 26-30

This Design Master Class will pump up your jewelry design skill set with a jam packed demo and hands-on jewelry design throwdown. You’ll be led through the process of developing a personal design vocabulary of techniques, materials and concepts and extrapolating them into your own unique design direction. You will then fabricate a piece that demonstrates that direction. Tom will demonstrate the techniques he employs in training his studio staff in New Orleans, and then assist participants in developing their personal approaches to the mission of the class. This class is most beneficial to artists clearly on a professional path or those who are advanced makers ready to launch a professional practice. Bring your current work for a one-on-one critique with Tom and group feedback from a presentation to the class. Intermediate to Advanced
