Sølje Spoon Earring Class with Liz Bucheit

About this event

Make Norwegian silver sølje spoon earrings with an award-winning jeweler. The bright "spoons" sparkle as they move and reflect light. Ever wonder why sølje pins have those shiny dangles with silver disc drops? These discs are called “spoons” or “shells” in Norwegian. Silver has long been a protective element against evil and abduction by the hulder folk in Scandinavia. Legend has it that should you run into the devil wearing your sparkling sølje he would see his own reflection and run away! Don’t run away from a chance to create your own silver and gold washed earrings in this short class designed to introduce you to the beauty of Scandinavian silver work. Students will assemble up to 2 pairs of earrings using multiple disc elements suspended from sterling silver French hook ear wires. A willingness to use hand tools (pliers) is required. At the end of the class, Liz will give a talk and demonstration on how to care for your sølje and other silver jewelry. Additional earring kits will be available for purchase. Materials cost: $75 per student *Pliers will be provided but are not included in the kit price Payable to the teacher at the time of class.
