Sidney Hanner, Designer and Instructor
Workshop Fee: $65.00
Earring Kit Available: $15.00
This is the latest creation from designer and instructor Sidney Hanner, and this piece is stunning in person. Sid demonstrates her usual creativity in arriving at the point of completion, creating tiny leaves from solder, mixing medias and materials freely, and incorporating found objects into the design, as will students in this class.
The nest is a free form wirewrap in burnished copper wire, embellished with the tinted metal leaves and cradling three lustrous pearls....
Soldered wire links join the necklace components, as well as wirewrapped components that lend surprising texture and interest...

Students will also have the opportunity to take home a kit for these earrings after attending class. You'll leave with your necklace and all the skills to make these incredible ear candy.
