Join me to learn the ancient art of die making hollow beads and forms! I've been working on this reclamation of ancient technology project for the last three years and my brand new, hollow-form dies from my ~Queen Puabi~ Collection are ready to debut in the studio. I will teach you how to use them to make gorgeous hollow beads, just as the ancient goldsmiths did. There isn't any complicated equipment like a hydraulic press required, just a leather mallet, one of my dies, annealing, and 30-26 gauge sheet in either copper, fine silver or 22k gold. Learn how easy it is to make luscious hollow forms! Once you have mastered using your die, we will work on fusing or soldering your beads together and transforming them into stunning jewelry.
