In October 2017, visiting artist Semar Prom taught a jewelry smithing workshop to five members of our women's group. Students learned techniques for how to solder, shape, hammer, polish, in addition to some basic wire wrapping. The workshop aimed to provide a basic skill set in order for the women to start their own small jewelry making business. The focus was on ring making, but the women used the skills learned to immediately start making earrings as well. |
