Student Showcase - Work from Jewelry That Grows on Trees Workshop

Check out the work our creative (and industrious!) students made in just two days during the Jewelry That Grows on Trees workshop with Julia Harrison. Were you one of the students in the workshop? Please share your experience in the comments to this post.

Jewelry That Grows on Trees Workshop Recap

This weekend, we welcomed visiting Seattle artist Julia Harrison for a change of pace in the metals studio. In her workshop, "Jewelry That Grows On Trees," students were introduced to a wide variety of techniques for identifying, cutting, shaping, coloring, finishing and embellishing wood. Much experimentation followed the in-depth demos, and students walked away with a variety of earrings, pendants, belt-buckles-in-the-making and sample pieces for future reference. We all had a great time and look forward to having Julia back in the fall!



We'll post sample student work here soon. For more workshop photos, visit us on Facebook.
