- 4:00 pm Trunk Show
- 7:30 pm Visual presentation.

The visual presentation given by Cavalier Luigi Cattelan and Nicole Anderson will take its viewers into the Murano glass factory - the Societa Veneziana Conterie (1898-1992). The black and white images, taken in the 1920's, depict the step-by-step process of producing the "conterie" beads, aka seed beads. The SVC was the most important and influential glass factory in the history of Murano that produced and exported glass beads. Each phase of the production will be briefly described as illustrated in these most unusual and interesting photos. |

Chris Darway Workshop
The Ring as Mechanism
Friday - Sunday, April 27, 28 & 29
ArtCenter - Lincoln Rd. Miami Beach
Rings do not have to be round nor static. This workshop is designed to introduce basic ideas of mechanism in jewelry in a non traditional way.The first day will be the construction of one of Chris' self adjusting rings from a "kit". Areas to be covered are the clean up and preparing of rough castings, making a stainless steel wire spring, soldering sterling to stainless, tube rivets and finishing techniques. The Knuckle Adjuster RingŠ incorporates a knuckle joint, torsion spring, tube rivets and articulated joints. It will accommodate a size two to a size ten finger. Day two starts with a simple ring blank of flat, round, square or other shape metal and is a jumping off point for students to make a ring that shakes, rolls, spins or has some sort of movement. Day three will allow for further exploration.
-
Skill level: High functioning beginner or burned out expert. Sawing and basic soldering skills.
-
Class fee: $350 JAG member & ArtCenter member price + materials, class limited to 10 students
