In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore the art of creating hollow forms—three-dimensional shapes that offer visual impact without the weight. Perfect for pendants or sculptural elements, hollow forms are a fundamental technique in jewelry design that allows for creativity, structure, and a touch of engineering.
Over two days, instructor Cheryl Jacobs will guide you through the step-by-step fabrication of a custom hollow bead or a small lidded box form. You’ll learn how to design, shape, solder, and decorate your piece to create a wearable object with both beauty and volume.
Topics Covered:
Designing and planning hollow constructions
Shaping and forming domes or boxes
Soldering techniques for clean seams
Adding decorative elements
Finishing and converting your piece into a pendant
