Create Stunning Floral Earrings with Anticlastic Raising
 
Join expert instructor Pattie Parkhurst in this hands-on workshop where you'll craft elegant, lightweight statement earrings using the technique of anticlastic raising. Learn to design, cut, and shape metal into beautifully mirrored floral forms.
 
The class includes instruction on proper annealing techniques for precise metal manipulation, along with guided practice to help you master the forming process. Pattie will also share valuable tips and tricks for successful fabrication and demonstrate clever methods for cleaning those hard-to-reach areas.
 
By the end of the session, you'll leave with a unique, handcrafted pair of mirror-matching floral earrings—and the skills to continue exploring Anticlastic raising on your own.
