Report from Architectural Jewelry Workshop
Though I have been making architectural jewelry for many years, this January was the first time I taught it as a workshop, and in base metal clay. It was a very intense five days. Some stayed in the studio to work late into the night, while others started very early in the morning. For all of us time passed very quickly. Time was short, and projects were complicated. I was stunned by the originality of ideas and by the quality of the work that was created during those five days. At the end of the third day I was able to take some photos of pieces that went through preliminary finishing. Everything that was done in the last 2 days was either not finished or not fired yet; I hope to post more photos later. I’ll let the pictures talk. They are presented in the order they were taken and the order of the projects. All are made with copper, bronze, rose bronze, and steel clay.

Beautiful work! Hadar, I know you are very busy, but would you ever consider
showing a sample on your blog of how you build the artitectural pieces?
Just one from start to finish would be amazing! 🙂
Thank so much…..and thanks for sharing the class work.

Hello Hadar and thank you so much for a wonderful experience. We all had a great time and I personally learned so much! I can’t wait to get back to the pieces that I didn’t complete while there…and I’ll send you photos.
It was a pleasure meeting you..you are an awesome teacher (and a rockstar!)
Fondly,
Marie

Wow, those are fantastic Hadar! It’s quite apparent that you are an awesome teacher and inspiration to your students (and all of us who have books that contain your work). Can’t wait to see more pics. How about coming to San Antonio? You would be extremely welcome and well received! Makes me want to go play with my clay!
