Nash will be teaching Keep Your Pants On: The Art of the Belt Buckle at Touchstone from July 9-13, 2018. In this workshop, students will explore the fun and offbeat format of the belt buckle! Learn fundamental metalsmithing skills as well as advanced tips and tricks. Experiment with templates and found objects to knock out a custom buckle quickly, or make every detail from scratch for the ultimate one-of-a-kind creation. Bring your own belt or utilize one provided. Skill development will focus on planning, soldering, and finishing, and emphasis will be placed on building a sturdy, functional, and beautiful piece. You will walk out of the workshop with your pants held high by a unique, handmade buckle! This workshop is suitable for All Levels.
