Class Fee: $155.00, all materials included!

We are pleased to offer Debby Anderson's Soulful Hearts workshop for the first time anywhere! Reminiscent of the old world, these time worn pendants are inspired by heart reliquaries and art from the past. While the response to the hearts has been overwhelming, Debby encourages us to create any shape with special meaning to you. Our work will include sculpting clay, incorporating lace, adding images, color and antiquing, as well as embedding our embellishments. Add to that a bit of solder and metalwork and we are well on our way to creating a stunning Soulful Heart pendant of our own. Each student will create at least one pendant, perhaps more time permitting. All materials are supplied! No soldering experience necessary, and you can even share soldering supplies with a friend!
*Seating is limited. Please call with your deposit and let us hold a seat for you!

Tools & Supplies:

round nose pliers, flat nose pliers, flush cutters, bench block & hammer, ring mandrel or Wrap n' Tap pliers or bailing pliers, and soldering supplies if you have them.

*Optional items to bring: small spiritual medals & crosses, fleur de lis, metal stampings & filigrees,  rhinestone jewelry, found objects, rhinestone chain (avoid pot metal as you tun the risk of items melting).

Class Fee: $160.00, includes everything except the rhinestones!

With romantic and spiritual inspiration Debby Anderson comes to Gilding the Lily! We are thrilled to have this northern California artist come teach with us. Debby is excited to share her love of shaping, manipulating and forging wire to create beautiful pendants and charms. In this full day class she will share with you how to create multiple pendants and charms in different shapes and sizes. These are perfect to then use in your own necklace, bracelet and mixed media designs. You will learn to securely attach and embellish vintage gems and found objects while using solder with a light touch. Debby will share her popular gilding and finishing techniques, as well as her way of stitching wire with a soldering iron. In addition we will be working with sculpting clay and resin to permanently encase your images and trinkets. You may also want to add a touch of color and antiquing to your image to add a time worn, old world effect. Debby will have a wide variety of her beautiful images to share. This is sure to be a fun filled, action packed day and we hope you can join us in creating your own Gilded Relics!
This class is sure to fill quickly so call and have us hold a spot for you!
