Metal Arts Adventures #22: Istanbul's Grand Bazaar and Blackboard Brooches

Thursday, January 21th from 5-6pm Pacific Time
Meet & Greet starts at 4:45pm.

Journey with us into the colorful, 500 year old labrynth of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar guided by jewelry artist Karen Savel. We'll marvel at the ancient arches, see local jewelers at work in their tiny shop, visit a gold smelter, stop by a street lapidarist and finish off with some classic Turkish delights. Next, we'll sit back and enjoy a demo by enamelist Kay Yee as she shows us how to create blackboard brooches. Stick around till the end for our lively Q&A discussion of all things metal arts from torch tips to patina particulars. We are also sharing some exciting new announcements! MAAA is a FREE weekly online metal arts live show. In this fun, interactive gathering we offer demos, share tips & tricks, feature work by artists and students from around the world, go on virtual studio tours, discuss historical metal arts traditions and share resources. You're invited to join in! Need help with a tricky soldering job? Wondering if a tip you saw really works? Want to give us a tour of your studio or recommend an instructor? Submit a question or segment idea and we'll follow up. Send it in! ​
