Workshop Announcement:
Douglas Wunder and The Washington Guild of Goldsmiths (WGG) are conducting a workshop on
Making Beautiful, Wearable, Sculptural Jewelry with Titanium and Niobium on January 10, 2026, 10am to 5pm at Montgomery College
This workshop is intended to familiarize one with the understanding in how to transform titanium and niobium into a piece of sculptural jewelry. A strong focus of the class will be on coloring metal with heat and an electrical process of anodizing. Participants will learn how to cut simple shapes out of titanium and niobium sheet metal. Then a layering process and riveting will be introduced demonstrating multiple possibilities of assembly.
You will create a pendant based on discussion and hands-on experience. The workshop is open for all skill levels.
The workshop fee for members of WGG is $95 and $155 for nonmembers. The nonmembers have the option of becoming members of the guild and availing themselves of the members price. The amount of titanium/niobium required for pendants will be available from the instructor for a fee of about $50 depending on the amounts needed.
