On Saturday & Sunday, August 20th & 21st, Pullen Arts Center is hosting “Tell Your Story: A Narrative Brooch”, a specialty jewelry workshop with visiting artist Kathryn Osgood.

In this workshop we will use imagery to create a brooch that tells a story. Students will explore various techniques to incorporate images in their work including image transfer, etching, sawing and piercing, and painting and drawing on enamel. We will fabricate a pin finding to complete our brooch. Bring images that inspire you and photos of people or places that are significant to you and be ready to create a brooch that tells your story.
Osgood is an assistant professor for the College of the Albemarle Professional Crafts Jewelry Program. She is a jeweler, enamellist and metalsmith, whose work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Osgood received her MFA in jewelry and metal design from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. Her work is published in 1000 Rings, The Art of Enameling, Contemporary Enameling: Art and Technique, 500 Earrings, 500 Necklaces, 500 Enameled Objects and The Art of Jewelry: Wood.
Students can sign up by stopping by Pullen Arts Center at 105 Pullen Rd, Raleigh, or by visiting www.raleighnc.gov and typing in the keyword “RecLink”. The barcode for this workshop is 108900. The class fee for Raleigh residents is $120 and the fee for non-residents is $130.
