Jewelry has often been described as sculpture in miniature. It’s an honor to adorn the body, and earrings are a particularly challenging field for creative exploration. In this workshop we’ll talk about prototyping, weight, balance, symmetry and asymmetry, and any other questions you may have about making multiples to frame the face. We will discuss stones, findings, and movement, and how addressing all these details communicates your individual design style. It’ll be a lot of fun, and by the end of the weekend you’ll have a suite of experiments to wear and play with. Participants should have some experience and comfort at the torch, but otherwise need only come with a mind full of ideas and a willingness to experiment!
Workshops run from 9:00am to 5:00pm each day
Lunch is included for all participants
For Ope Omojola, Octave Jewelry was the natural outcome of a lifelong creative practice prioritizing materiality, color, and movement. A student of Anthropology, Ope first picked up a soldering torch at a weeknight class at the 92nd Street Y. Years of independent experimentation and exploration led to Octave’s signature style, creating jewelry that speaks to personal style, history, and sentimentality. Born in Nigeria, Ope lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
