Buckle Workshop
August 23-25, 2013

| by Jesse Bert |
Discover the difference of being in an artists personal studio. Where a small class size will assure one on one interaction with the instructor.
Start the day with a walk on old cobblestone streets, where you will experience being in another world that has changed very little over 400 years, to Jesse's studio which is located in the heart of San Miguel.
Here your adventure in the studio will begin. You will learn to make appropriate finding of your desired size and soldering them to the backplate. You will also learn how to texture, rivet, torch fire enamel, and give your piece depth by using a hydraulic press. At the end of three days you will leave with one breathtaking buckle of your own creation!
The buckle pictured below is an example of all the techniques you will use in this class.

That is me with Jesse below making MY buckle last year in San Miguel. It is kind of hard sawing while being watched. Hahaha. Go here to read about some of my great adventures south of the border last August.
