We hope you’ll join us for Gabriel and Amy’s upcoming workshop, “Drawing on Metal: Surface Embellishment Techniques for Jewelry and Small Objects,” happening on September 5 & 6, 2015. In this two-day workshop students will learn the basics of surface embellishment techniques that allow for tightly controlled linear and gestural effects.
