Bob Ebendorf, Off the Street Jake Weigel, Quanta Jake Weigel, Prospectus June 4 – 8 June 11 – 15 June 18 – 22 Lost & Found: journey for personal Sculpture Principles: foundation Concept to Reality: the process of adornment - jewelry basics Bob Ebendorf Jake Weigel I II CONCEPT: Express yourself through jewelry design in a workshop that explores a wide range of concepts relative to personal adornment and narrative object. Working with both traditional and alternative materials, including silver, copper, wire, recycled materials and found objects, we fashion items of personal importance, expression and decoration. We also investigate the use of color and collage as a design tool. Through demonstrations, lectures and hands-on projects, we discover the many methods of selection, integration and assembly inherent to this limitless range of materials. The class is centered around lectures and demonstrations, with plenty of time for individual instruction. MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: We work with mixed media and found objects, low-tech jewelery methods, and techniques using fundamental, simple attachments and construction systems. ACTIVITIES: Our days consist of demonstrations and discussions, handouts and step-by-step tool and equipment lessons. FACULTY: Robert Ebendorf received his M.F.A. from University of Kansas.
