"It's was an opportunity for our students to focus on designing innovative and unusual jewelry while exploring the use of new materials in body adornment," said Julia Barello, head of the art department. "Part of the project requires them to use their imaginations in designing the kind of jewelry that cannot be found anywhere else."
Materials used this year for the pieces include silver, enamels and bronze, as well as unexpected materials such as dyed vellum, tin-type photographs, castbronze parachute cord pendants and textiles.
Proceeds from the sale will be used to support student activities in the jewelry and metalsmithing field. For more information contact Barello at 575-646-1705.
