Color on Copper and Brass: Patinas from the Kitchen,
Backyard, and Grocery Store

A variety of substances commonly found in kitchens, backyards and grocery stores can be used to create interesting patinas on copper and brass. These substances offer safer alternatives to the industrial chemicals that are widely used for patinas on metal. Participants in this workshop will use hand tools to make original pieces of jewelry or decorative objects in copper and/or brass and then experiment with applying patinas to these objects. All levels of experience in metalsmithing are welcome. Bring your imagination and a willingness to explore and experiment with patinas! At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will have a sampler of patinas on copper and brass, some finished pieces with patinas, and recipes to use for further exploration of patinas.
Sarah Groves is a bench-trained metalsmith/jeweller, printmaker and ecologist who works with copper, silver, gold and natural gemstones. Many of her jewellery designs are shaped and textured by forging (hammering) metal and colored with patinas. She experiments with plants, fruits, veggies and commonly available substances to find relatively non-toxic patinas for coloring copper and brass. Her workshop is in Vancouver, BC where she works as a full-time studio artist and teacher of introductory and intermediate jewellery techniques. www.blueboxdesign.ca

This comprehensive workshop will provide you with everything you've wanted to know about working with the mysterious and alluring dichroic glasses. Kiln fusing techniques will be explored including cabochon and bead making. We will make components for use in unique glass-collage jewelry. Glass selection, glass cutting, and fusing will allow each student to understand how the basic color coatings can be combined with each other or with stained glasses to result in a very wide and magical selection of colors and effects. By layering, etching and embedding wire you learn to create components for your future projects. These include jewelry components and 'stones' for use in collages, mosaics, silver bezeling or for use in your future PMC projects. Students are encouraged to bring glass grinders, cutters and breaking pliers, if owned. Kilns, adhesives, findings and assorted glasses will be supplied by instructor.
Dennis Peabody is a Hartford based artist who has experimented
and expressed himself with glass for over 25 years. An early user of dichroic
glasses, Dennis has produced a popular line of dichroic glass jewelry
for 15 years. You can see Dennis’ work at www.peabodystudio.com
