So many jewelers call themselves designers, without so much as giving a second thought to what exactly is a designer? And what exactly does a designer do? The concept of what is good design and what is bad design is very subjective, but in this fast paced, highly interactive, fun and creative class you are going to learn first-hand some answers to these questions.
You will learn the basics of designing or expanding your own cohesive collection with some fun hands-on interactive exercises. Also you will look at your jewelry with new eyes and see how you can improve and strengthen your own individual “designs” and become a more successful and thoughtful “designer.”
Marlene Richey who is known for her business and marketing classes will reveal another part of herself most people don’t know. Her father was head of the art department at a couple major universities. Her uncle was head of the art department at Central Washington University. Between her father and uncle they published numerous books on art, design and art education. And Marlene majored in art and metalsmithing in college and did post-graduate work on Russian icons. Marlene grew up in an environment where at the dinner table “less is more,” Scandinavian design, Alvar Aalto and the post-modern movement were common topics. Marlene knows design.
