Press release from the museum:
The Asheville Art Museum presents a dazzling Textile & Metal Jewelry Workshop with local artist Joanna Gollberg on Saturday, August 1 from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. In this class, participants will use simple tools to form the base of a jewelry piece — whether it’s a brooch, necklace, earrings or bracelet. The base will then be decorated with textile fibers. The idea is to create a finished piece in a day, while exploring the two very different mediums of metal and fiber. The class will also explore professional jewelry cold connections and findings using wire, as well as a variety of textile and sewing techniques, including simple whip-stitching, appliqué and embroidery. Students should bring: ideas, sketches, Pinterest boards and an open mind!
This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience. All materials and snacks are included in the cost. Class size is limited and advance registration is required.
Tickets for the workshop are $95 for members, and $105 for non-members. Participants can register online at www.ashevilleart.org or contact the Museum at 828.253.3227.
Joanna Gollberg operates out of an amazing studio in downtown Asheville, North Carolina. The vibrant arts community in Asheville, the multitude of tools and materials in her studio, and the amazing colors and textures of rough and faceted gemstones serve as her design inspirations. Joanna loves to design and to work with her hands, ensuring that she is completely involved in the creation of each piece of colorful jewelry. She was voted Best Jewelry Artist/Designer in Asheville for 2014.
