jewelry workshop

i've been in a jewelry workshop the past two days as a single credit class through my school. unfortunately, we were only able to work with copper and enamel. i was hoping we'd get the chance to work with some silver clays, or molds - but it was interesting nonetheless! i branded my fingers on a piece of 1500ยบ cross-hatched metal... that hurt... a lot. so now i have a nice criss-cross imprint on the tips of my thumb and pointer fingers. lovely. i also got to use a torch flame, which was pretty intense.. and fun. i heat-colored one of my pieces and also torched the small bead below. i'm a bit sad the class is over, but apparently we're allowed to repeat it, so my roommate and i are considering it!
