The silver saturday workshop today was the first of the two “Organic Things” class that I offer this year. Similar to the other Silver Saturdays, which teach all the basics minus stone setting, the “Organic Things” is set apart by the inclusion of a found object in the final project. This tends to lead the design in a more “organic” direction, and also tends to employ more of the skills learned. My workshoppers did great with this challenge, taking it in their own unique directions.
