Bard Graduate Center has begun holding public workshops. The first one they are trying out is a three weekend jewelry class I am taking. The first class was today! The workshop is focused on historical processes in jewelry. The lecture and hands on work was all about historic, ancient jewelry practices, from original Stone Age and Bronze Age tools to granulation and wire making. It was incredible to learn how early wire was made and to see an artist's incredible granulation work.

Etsy New York Street Team
On Thursday I joined the Etsy New York Street Team. The team provides workshops, advice, and pools resources, for its members, all centered around being an Etsy seller and being a working artist. The meeting was at the Etsytorium in DUMBO, Brooklyn. After being a native New Yorker my whole life it was my first time visiting the area. And.... I may have fell in love with DUMBO.
The meeting was at night so I got there a little early to explore, have some coffee, read a book. I took the classic tourist shots but it was nice to see something new!
I am so excited to see what is in store and what comes out of joining the Etsy New York Street Team!
