Our Mother’s Day workshop offers the perfect gift: Create a Watercolor Paper Cuff Bracelet, with Ross Barbera,Saturday, May 4th, 10AM-4PM
In the artists’ world, inspiration can come from any facet of life. Ross Barbera is an artist who studied painting as a graduate student at the Pratt Institute in the 1970’s. He was introduced to jewelry design while taking a class during his graduate studies. A new love for jewelry design then inspired a beautiful combination of jewelry and watercolor blended together.
“Although painting has defined my life, as a graduate student…I was also introduced to jewelry design. I instantly fell in love with working on small, three-dimensional jewelry objects…my jewelry work had evolved from working in metal to working in paper and wood and was becoming more closely aligned with my paintings. Watercolor on paper replaced enamels on silver, and whenever I wasn't painting, I was making jewelry.”
This workshop, “Watercolor Paper Cuff: Integrating Wire with Watercolor Paper”, presents an original method for creating cuff bracelets that combines jewelry wire and painted watercolor paper to craft one-of-a-kind, beautifully colorful bracelets. Participants in the workshop will receive personalized instruction, covering the creation of the bracelet's flexible wire frame, the incorporation of painted paper with the wire, and the final varnishing steps. Each finished cuff bracelet will be a distinctively original, wearable work of art, seamlessly merging the sophistication of jewelry with the lively colors of watercolor and acrylic paint. All essential materials and tools, including the pre-painted watercolor paper, will be supplied for the duration of the class.
The fee for this 1-day, 5-hour workshop is $125per person, which includes all materials. To register, go to https://theatelieratflowerfield.org/workshops or call 631-250-9009 for assistance or more information. We look forward to seeing you!
