Hinges and Portholes	9:00 - 4:30 Thursday
	Mary Hettmansperger	$145

This workshop is filled.
Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Process and Project
Prerequisite: None

Using copper and silver sheeting for accent, students will design a hinged locket. Students may bring a personal photo, image or favorite paper to place in the locket, or use papers and images that Mary has selected. Mica is used to protect the image and cold connections hold it in place. Students will make one locket with a copper back and a sterling silver front using a porthole technique to add dimension. Students will have material to make more books and lockets using just the copper. Patinas, texturing, and metal applications, including embossing will also be covered. The focus of this class is to master the hinge using tabs to create a variety of moveable doors. It is a low-tech process with fabulous results.
