Metals Week 2010 is designed to be a week of creative and social renewal where you can relearn how to be open to learning and seeing from a creative perspective. You will be working with master instructors in an environment that encourages opportunities to test ideas, try new techniques and create work as well as network and exchange ideas with others jewelers and metalsmiths. Whether you come to learn new skills or enhance the skills and techniques you already know, you will have the opportunity to grow as an artist in metal. This week of intensive metals studies will begin on Sunday, June 27 and run through Thursday, July 1. You will have the opportunity to work with one of six outstanding jewelers/metalsmiths – but in addition, you will have the opportunity to sign up for two lecture/demos from other instructors teaching during the week. This is a time for you to attend a lecture/demo, examine samples, ask questions and visit with instructors teaching other Metals Week workshops. This schedule offers the opportunity of a rich and well-rounded experience with intensive studies focusing in the area and with the instructor you have chosen. Class size is limited to allow for maximum interaction among participants and with the instructors. The metals studios are equipped with torches and large equipment as needed for the classes. A comprehensive list of items students will need to bring will be sent upon registration.

Jersey Art School at Old Church Center Gallery: The Art School at Old Church was established in
1974 as a non-profit, nonsectarian cultural resource center. A band of
artists and friends seeking to start a community art school saw promise in
the ruined structure of a 19th century church building. Through their hard
work and dedication, the group transformed the old church into a center
for artistic learning and enrichment. Today, the Art School continues to
offer educational and cultural experiences that enrich the quality of life
in the local and regional community. The mission of the Art School at Old Church is to
improve the quality of life in the community and region through educational
and cultural offerings. ________________________________ North Carolina Hendersonville
