Join metals artist Robert Longyear as he creates pieces of jewelry inspired by pictures taken of unusual objects and locations in and around the St. Louis area. Robert will share images that inspired his recent work, show jewelry created from those images, and demonstrate the process he uses to execute his pieces. We'll explore the big questions: Where do ideas for art come from? How do space and place influence the artist? How is inspiration transformed into a piece of art? How are metals used to create works of art? What metal working techniques are available to the artist? Ask your additional questions as you watch Robert at work.
