Treasures of the Sea – Part 1

“Treasures of the Sea” focuses on working with elements that are reactive in an acid bath.  I spend time on the discussion of how to protect reactive materials, shells, minerals, organic items such as pearls in an acidic environment.  Additionally, we assemble individual elements together using electroforming techniques to create finished pieces of jewelry.  This class addresses the challenges associated with minerals and reactive elements used to embellish a wearable art pendant.
