We will cover techniques to make at least three different kinds of "gems" and put them together to make lightweight and easy to wear jewelry.
Bring your creativity and any lightweight decorative papers you'd like to experiment with.

About the Instructor
Dorothy Yuki (she/her) studied to be something other than an artist. She began as a fashion designer immediately after college but soon she became a partner of a manufacturing company. After its sale, she worked as a production and design consultant with many identity and music production companies, as well as new startups.
While living in Tequisquiapan, she became involved with the Sierra Gorda Ecological Group and taught small communities to become self-sustaining.
Now in her 80s and living in San Francisco, she is engaged in many volunteer activities: Ruth’s Table, Artseed, SCRAP-SF, San Francisco Center for the Book, and FabMo. She also mentored at Bay High School in their Senior Program. She was past President of Friends of Calligraphy and has been a Master Educator for the Macy’s Fashion Incubator San Francisco.
