Here at the studio we have been getting our usual calls about upcoming class availability. I am currently teaching the last 8 week class that will be held at our present location on Spadina before making our big move into the new space in Roncesvalle. Fortunately, we have been receiving enough interest to continue listing our one day workshops on Saturdays up until we move. If you are at all interested do not hesitate to sign up!
The class that I am teaching is the 8 week Intermediate Fabrication Class, and it also includes a student taking on advanced jewellery making projects. Each student in the class has come up with challenging projects, using the demos of the class to their utmost potential. Check out some of their creations. -Alexis
Monika Weber's hollow constructed pendant.
Erin Noh's pierced and dapped pendant.
Joanna Savvaidis' pieced, formed and wirework cuff.
Joanna Savvaidis' bezel set faceted gem ring (Joanna's been a busy bee!)
More pictures of student work coming your way! This is my first time teaching the 8 week Enamel class and I am excited about all the samples and finished pieces my students have been creating. I am looking forward to seeing what they are going to be making for their final project, which they will be starting soon and completing in a couple of weeks. I'll be sure to post the finished creations!
Take a browse through our 2nd Annual Student Exhibition
here at Jewel Envy. The exhibition will be running from
Friday February 10th, to Monday March 5th and now immortalized here on
our blog! The opening reception is this Friday February the 10th from
5-9pm and is being generously supported by Magnotta Winery. We're
excited to display our hard working students creations and are once
again asking the public to vote on their favorite piece. The winner
will receive free bench work time here at the studio to further
develop their skills. Please join us at the opening or drop in to check
out the show while it is on display. You can vote in person or through
email by sending us an email with your name, phone number and number of
the piece you think should win.
