The “Wearable Art” movement increased awareness of texture and imbued surfaces with meaning. Texture makes you want to just pick up a piece of art. Artist and jeweler, Lynalise Woodlief will introduce surface texturing on metal, using letter stamps, enamel, and patina techniques. Watch as layer upon layer of rich and colorful textures start to take on shape and meaning. Bring your ideas, experiences and stories and share in the creation of this narrative piece of jewelry.
