In our new Craft Hack classes- Katy Atchison, crafter at large, takes on popular & on trend DIY trends with an approachable, fun style keeping with Workshops lo-fi motto. She deconstructs often expensive crafts/ classes out there and offers a lo-fi fun starter version. These classes will be more project based over an intensive class. Ideal for just trying out a new craft before investing a ton of loot or time into classes or supplies. A long time Etsy fan/ seller and part of the community, Katy tackles new crafts all the time rotating her class offerings often- think craft class meets a fun etsy style craft night. You can even bring boxed wine and Oreos- shit, we dont judge.
Agate & Geode Jewelry: Stop carting around a bag of crystals & learn how to bring elements of nature into your work and how to elevate found objects to create beautiful jewelry. I’ll teach you how to make gold & silver gilded agate rings & beginner wire wrapping so you can start sporting your bag o’ crystals as jewelry instead. You’ll get to choose an agate crystal and learn how to turn it into a beautiful ring with an exquisite dipped gold look! Then, later in the class we’ll break open geodes & learn how to wire wrap them into gorgeous pendents. YOU WILL WALK OUT WITH 3-4 AMAZING PIECES (SEE OUR INSTAGRAM FOR EXAMPLES)
Students will learn: -Wire-Wrapping Techniques and tips for single pieces of wire & multiple pieces of wire -How to break open a Geode without shooting your eye out -Gilding vs Gold Dipping -Where to obtain the best gems -Gem History & Origin Nerd Talk

She s taught several workshops in the Bay Area- including Handlettering, Scrubs & Soaps, Painting, Illustration & How to Make Your Own Mini-pie.
