NASSAU,
NP, March 4, 2016- Exnihilo Art Center will host its first art
workshop in Nassau on March 19 and 20, at the former home of E. Clement and
Keva Bethel, located off Eastern Road. Learn the art of
Silversmithing
is a workshop for hobbyists and arts enthusiasts at all levels –no experience
necessary. In only six hours on Saturday, 11:00 am – 5:00 pm, or Sunday, 12 noon
-6:00 pm, participants will design and complete four to six pieces of sterling
silver jewelry which can be worn or given as gifts to friends and family.
Participants
will work with an award winning silversmith in a fully equipped space to learn
soldering, hammering, sawing and texturing techniques. These basic
silversmithing skills will act as prerequisites to future Exnihilo intermediate
and advanced workshops and classes. Starting at $185 per person, the fee covers
the instructor, equipment, snacks and all materials. Lunch will be available
for purchase onsite from Seasonal Sunshine, but bag lunches are welcome.
According
to Exnihilo partner Michael Edwards, the art center will host a series of
craft-focused workshops in Nassau throughout the year. By highlighting crafts
in this manner Exnihilo hopes to elevate the art forms to the same status as
fine art. “These workshops will help to
engage the local community, raise awareness of Exnihilo and its offerings, and
work to gain traction for the larger vision of establishing an international
artist residency program,” says Edwards.
