Mixed Media Jewelry: Techniques & Experimentation

one-day workshop

Taught by NAAMA LEVIT

This workshop introduces techniques for combining metal with non-metal materials such as wood, acrylic, fabric, and ceramic. Students will learn cold connection methods, tab settings, and approaches for using adhesives effectively, along with material-specific guidance for drilling, cutting, and surface preparation. Through demonstrations and hands-on experimentation, participants will practice these techniques and explore how different materials interact with metal.

The focus is on skill development and experimentation rather than producing a finished piece, though students will leave with small experimental works that can inform future projects.

Students should bring in their own found objects and materials to experiment with during this workshop. Ceramic and glass pieces (no sharp edges, no more than 10mm thickness) as well as flat sheets of acrylic and wood (no more than 8mm thick) are good materials to bring in.

Class size 4 – 12 students. This is an intermediate level workshop that is open to students with basic jewelry fabrication skills.
