USA: Scottdale's AMALGAMarts to Demonstrate Jewelry Making Techniques
AMALGAMarts , a collaborative art studio in Scottdale, is offering a series of demonstrations on the various aspects of jewelry making at the 2009 American Craft Council Show in Atlanta (March 13-15 at the Cobb Galleria Centre). These informative sessions address selected parts of the AMALGAM artists' custom jewelry-making process and will take place periodically on all three days of the Craft Show. 10,000 visitors are expected to attend the event, the largest of its kind in the Southeast.
Through each presentation the members of AMALGAMarts will demonstrate the jewelry-making process by showing how layers of depth and texture are added to works through roll printing and etching. Next, they will demonstrate how surface embellishments are made with patinas and keum-boo. Attendees can watch a solder-free chain grow before their eyes and witness earrings being forged from sheet and wire. Not only will artists demonstrate their craft on individual pieces, but components created using these techniques will be combined to create a piece of wearable art.
The American Craft Council Show in Atlanta will take place on Friday and Saturday, March 13-14: 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; and Sunday, March 15: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Cobb Galleria Centre. Regular admission is $12 for one day, $18 for a two-day pass and all three days' admission for $20. Children 12 and under are admitted free. American Craft Council members and those who join the non-profit organization at the show are admitted free all weekend.
Craft enthusiasts wanting an early opportunity to meet featured artists and buy their works before the show should plan to attend the Preview Party on Thursday, March 12 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Cobb Galleria Centre.
