Cheryl Jacobs, a local professional jeweller and post-secondary instructor, came in and shared some incredible skills with our students in Spring 2018. Featured here are several stone-setting projects done by Senior Jewelry students – beautiful work!
In Spring 2018, we had a professional jeweller and college instructor, Cheryl Jacobs, come into our class to talk about local advanced education and entrepreneurship in jewelry-making (See the “Other Awesome Resources” section on this website to view her work). Cheryl shared new skills with us, and worked with students in both Junior and Senior Jewelry. Pictured here are a variety of cuffs designed by students – these projects incorporated leather work, riveting, and texturing and tempering metal.
A selection of beautiful lost wax castings from Spring 2018 – all cast from sterling silver, and students choose their own design (either pre-made patterns or they carve their own). Excellent work!
A selection of first-ever jeweller’s saw projects done by Jewelry 9/10 students – wow! Students choose a unique image and their metal type, cut it out by hand with a jeweller’s saw, then sand, polish, and finish their pieces.
Gorgeous work done by Jewelry 11/12 students. Each student chooses their image and metal varieties, and all cutting is done by hand with a jeweller’s saw. Pieces are then sweat-soldered, sanded, and polished.
Amazing “tab” stone-setting pendant by ES – beautiful work!
Unique, gorgeous work by Jewelry 9/10 students. Each piece is designed, hand-carved, cast, and filed/sanded to completion. Great work, everyone!
Incredible projects by Jewelry 9/10 students – all cut out by hand with a jewellers’ saw.
A perfect send-off post for summer vacation (and R.I.P., Leonard Nemoy).
Awesome work by Grade 9 student E.S. – she even added a brooch pin, so this can be worn in full Trekkie fashion.
Have a great summer, everyone! – Ms. T.
Featuring buckles by M.L., M.X., C.F., A.G., C.M., T.H., and N.W-C. Awesome work, everyone!
