Instructor - Mary Rogers

Studio 1


This is an introduction to the process of cuttlefish bone casting, a method of gravity casting. Cuttlefish bone is an organic material that is soft enough to carve a negative mold. Once the mold is cut and both sides are marked for alignment, a sprue channel is cut into the material and molten sterling is poured into the negative area. The texture of the soft bone surface is very organic. Once the casting is complete it can be cut, filed, and soldered to create a distinctive piece of jewelry.

This class requires intermediate jewelry skills such as sawing, filing and basic torch skills. Students will be casting in sterling silver and will need 2-3 ounces of sterling scrap or sterling casting grain. Sterling scrap will be available for purchase from the instructor in ½ ounce packets.

Please note: For safety reasons while casting all students must wear leather shoes.

Studio 1


Let’s explore flowers! In this workshop we will be painting a loose impressionistic floral. We will be using the alla prima technique, also known as "direct painting" or “wet-on-wet”. My goal is to teach and equip my students with the tools to break down a subject into big shapes then add just a few details to round out the painting to bring it to life. We will talk about design, value, drawing and color. I will demonstrate a painting to help give students a visual example before students choose a floral design provided to create their own. Painting supplies can be reserved for an additional fee directly from the instructor.
