About
The Summer ’25 themed challenge is “botanical.” The Flourish Challenge is designed to provide you with the little extra push and inspiration you’re looking for to use your metals skills to make something new.
Using any process, technique, or material that could be found in a jewelry studio, make a finished piece related to the botanical theme.
This Focused Open Studio is limited to fabrication techniques. A safety monitor will be on duty. No formal instruction is given.
Works from the challenge will be shown in the jewelry studio display case as space allows (optional).
