SilverWorks was happy to introduce the new Jewelry Expressions: Stamping workshop instructed by Alan Darby.  Everyone got to try their hand at this expressive technique creating one of a kind key fobs and pendants.

Alan shared his expertise in stamping traditional Native American design as well as a more contemporary approach of “painting” with the stamps, creating mini landscapes in the metal. Alan also shared his vast collection of handmade stamps with the workshoppers.

Thanks Alan for a wonderful day!
