Meanwhile the fall term at Santa Barbara City College's Continuing Education has started, and I enrolled in beading, soldering and lost wax casting classes. In the beading class we're working on our own projects using stringing, wire wrapping and knotting techniques. In the soldering class we're fabricating a sterling silver necklace, comprising of curved discs, textured silver beads and different sized jump rings, and in the lost wax casting class, we're carving a locket in wax and will be casting it in sterling silver.
Here's to a productive autumn!
