Highlight your wraps, jackets, scarves and hats for the upcoming seasons with a one-of-a-kind stick pin made of light weight polymers.At the end of this workshop, you will have several ornaments/art pins for yourself, gifts for family and friends. We will start the day with a group discussion on form and function, design concepts and materials to be used. Several demos will highlight the techniques as we move through each stage of the project. We will start with basic veneers, embellish them with various textures, inlays, foils and stamps. The final veneers and endcaps will be cut to shape, pre-finished, while we consider the interior mechanics for the pin. The second day of the workshop will focus on finishing techniques, adding any alternative materials and setting the endcaps. Material Fee: 15.00 paid to the instructor (Foils, beads, pins and endcaps.)
