Class Description:

Looking for a fun and challenging activity for your 3rd – 6th grader this summer? Check out the Danaca Design art jewelry camp! This weeklong camp teaches REAL jewelry-making and metalsmithing techniques such as metal stamping, hammering, riveting and sawing!! Students will work with copper and brass sheet and wire and incorporate a variety of other materials including beads, polymer clay, and found objects to create jewelry pieces they can wear proudly. In addition, students will explore the fundamentals of composition and color theory all while learning to use basic jewelry hand tools all used every day in a jeweler’s studio. Nothing is quite as satisfying and empowering as saying, “I made this!” Who knew so much fun could be had with tools?! No experience necessary, returning students welcome.
