This short intensive course introduces a series of simple exercises on different ways on how to make earrings.
A brief history of earrings and their meanings and purpose. The course is directed around the creative ideas and capabilities of each student. Each student should bring examples of earrings they have made or drawings and ideas. Bring all the materials you want to work with. 0.9mm or 1mm silver wire.
