2-day training<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

INSPIRATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This project was born from admiring Alexander Calder's headboard<\/a> exposed at the Guggenheim Foundation in Venice. I had an epiphany: instead of working from plates as I had done before, I decided to focus on working with wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Explore the balance, the harmony between the metal wire and the color of the polymer clay.
Starting from this idea of balance and equilibrium between metal and polymer clay, between the solid and the void, I found more inspiration from artists such as Ramon Puig Cuy\u00e0s<\/a> and Lauren Pollaro<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enriched by these inspirations, I sought to offer the participants of this internship a project that will allow them to both develop their polymer clay working techniques, discover or deepen their metalworking, and finally work on the balanced composition of their jewelry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

COMPOSITION AND BALANCE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Participants will learn how to compose a balanced design, taking into account the technical constraints related to spindle mounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RAW DOUGH DECORATIONS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

They will discover how to create subtle and colorful backgrounds on raw polymer clay using acrylic paint, playing with thinness and layering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SURFACE PROTECTION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

They will know how to effectively protect these d\u00e9cors to prevent scratches and ensure the durability of the jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ORGANIC SHAPE CUTTING<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A simple and quick method will be provided to them for cutting plant or organic shapes without the use of cookie cutters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

METAL WIRE TEXTURING<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

They will experiment with various techniques for texturing metal wire, which are accessible, require minimal tools, and are suitable for contemporary jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

metal\/polymer fixation by riveting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

They will learn to attach metal wire to polymer clay using an ingenious, reliable technique that requires minimal materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOOK INTEGRATION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

They will know when and how to integrate the clasp to the back of the brooch based on the overall design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COOKING OPTIMIZATION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the internship, I will share my tips for reducing the manufacturing time of polymer clay jewelry (notably by avoiding the step of applying and baking the sole) while guaranteeing the quality and aesthetics of the final piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
