Program Description
Interact with metalsmith Michael Gleeson as he creates pieces of jewelry inspired by his interests in architecture and science fiction. Working with titanium and sterling silver, Michael will demonstrate the process used to execute his finished pieces. The program will begin with Michael sharing a finished piece of jewelry he has created. Students will then be able to interact as he demonstrates the steps it took to create that work. Students will be able to ask their questions about his torch work, the anodizing process, cutting techniques, the use of cold connections and hot connections, and the kinds of metals used as they see the piece come to life before their eyes. Students will also see examples of Michael’s other work, both in jewelry and other forms. We’ll explore the big questions: Where do ideas for art come from? How is inspiration transformed into a piece of art? How are metals used to create works of art? What techniques are available for the metals artist? Ask your additional questions as you watch Michael at work. Cost for the program is FREE.
