Class Description: Students will forge a necklace with two lilies as shown in the illustration accompanying this class advertisement. Inspired by her body of forged fashion work the students will create a necklace from 3/8” round, ¾” x 1” bar, and 1”x ¼” bar with lilies riveted to flared stock. There will be a fair amount of drawing out of the parent stock to create flairs, lilies, and curls on the end of several parts. The individual components will be riveted together to create the whole. The class is limited to 10 students and will have two days to complete the piece.

Note: Once the final list of registered students is complete, the instructor will send specific instructions for the class.
