Carving is a unique method for making jewellery, being reductive rather than constructive. Faced with a block of material the carver must eliminate, remove the negative space to reveal the elusive desired shape. It can seem like a backwards way of thinking.
In this workshop participants will be introduced to the processes and techniques used by Jane Dodd in making her jewellery. Jane will present some ways she prepares for her work, how she attacks a lump of stuff and invite participants to have a go. Materials commonly used by Jane will be provided.
Please note that this workshop requires participants to meet on Thursday 13 April between 7 and 8pm
