In this 2-day workshop, make a simple and beautiful copper pendant or pair of earrings with artist Glenn Piwowar. On day one, we’ll practice designing, cutting/shaping the material, texturing it, annealing (with a propane torch), learning to “pickle" and clean the workpiece. By the end of the first evening, students will begin the patina process, allowing the rich blue or green finish to develop overnight. During the second evening, students will protect the patina by applying spray fixative to preserve it.  Further embellish your piece with hand-made copper rivets, additional copper elements (including fire patina), copper jump rings, and finish it off with a simple necklace cord or earring hooks.

Notes about this workshop

• Arts Underground continues to require masking and proof of vaccination for individuals taking part in workshops in the studio. For individuals visiting only the store and galleries, we will still require masks at all times, but proof of vaccination in this instance will not be required. The Government of Yukon has authorized businesses and non-profits to establish their own rules regarding masking and proof of vaccination.
  
  The reason for proof of vaccination in the Studio is that Studio participants will be working in close quarters in an area that is not optimally ventilated. Exceptions to the rules are the now widely publicized medical conditions. We hope you will understand and accept our desire to keep both staff and visitors safe during the pandemic.

• Supplies are included.
