“I get to make art and I like art. We don’t do this stuff in school. Well, we do simple projects like drawing by yourself. Really easy stuff. But art takes a lot more work than what we do in school.” – Lena, 7 years old

“I’d say Kids Media is fun, the people that work there are nice. At school, it’s different. We haven’t done a clay project [like we did in Kids Media], and we haven’t done something with foreground, middle ground, and background. I think I’m kind of a better artist now.” – Lane, 8 years old

The perfect way to try something new!

With 15 years’ experience, Karen is a self-taught jeweler. She has work in the AKMA museum store and is a member of the Northland Artists Gallery of Weston, MO.

Students will make 1 necklace charm and a pair of earrings using Sterling silver wire.

All supplies will be provided for this class, but if you would like to bring your own tools you are welcome to.

Karen’s comments about making jewelry:

“I started making jewelry after raising two children and while still pursuing a career as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist at a local hospital. I live in rural Missouri and prefer to participate in local art shows and craft fairs.”

“I love the texture and the look produced by nature and decided to specialize in rocks (we call them Gemstones because they’re pretty) and Sterling Silver. For me, the stones are the focus of each piece and the silver provides the highlights.”
