Presented in conjunction withNon-Stick Nostalgia: Y2K Retrofuturism in Contemporary Jewelry, create jewelry that delights the senses with Artist Studios alum Emiko Shinozaki during this intensive workshop. The designer will guide participants in exploring touch-capacitive materials including conductive thread, malleable metals, and both gold and silver leaf to produce futuristic interactive jewelry that can be activated by sensors to elicit sound. Materials will be provided and no prior jewelry-making experience is required.
