Julia Harrison: Woodworking and Finishing Techniques for Jewelry Workshop at ASU

This past weekend, ASU Metals hosted a woodworking workshop with Seattle artist, Julia Harrison. This picture above makes me soooo happy! Everyone who participated had a great time and Julia was awesome! (You can see all the photos from the workshop here.)She taught us all sorts of texturing techniques, carving methods, and we all got to make samples and carve wood spoons from a solid block.Step 1: Make a top view template.Step 2: Make a side template. Step 3: Cut off the top side.Step 4: Start carving out the bowl.Step 5: Cut off the bottom and then cut out the profile.Step 6: Carve away!Step 7: Sand, sand, sand until finished! (I still have a long way to go...)I loved seeing wood chips all over the studio floor...it was so fun!Here are all the spoons we all created that day...all of which are still in the finishing process.
It was a great time! Hopefully I will post more pics soon of the jewelry stuff I made...

Check out the awesome stuff I got at our last ASU Metals Club Jewelry Sale. I love our club sales...it is so fun to buy/trade jewelry with my talented friends!!
I got these fun little pins, and this ring below from my professor, Becky McDonah. Its an Olive you ring...get it? I LOVE (Olive) you!! SO awesome.This ring was made by my professor Tedd McDonah. I have a couple of his forged rings and they are all super gorgeous. This new one is my favorite. Visit Tedds etsy shop to get your own forged ring, and check out his flickr.
These brooches (and the necklace at the top of the post) are from my good friend and fellow metals grad, Victoria Altepeter. Check out her etsy shop, and her flickr.
