Just a few of the projects we'll be diving into on your design journey
Rendering brilliant cut gemstones
Rendering metals with different textures
Rendering opaque and transparent cabochons
We love to share all the details on how to render in our online classes, starting at the very beginning.
How to render a blue sapphire - we cover all the details of this technique in our Rendering a Round Brilliant Cut class.
But we know design isn't just about drawing, it's about developing creativity and experimentation. That's why we created our Creative Kickstarter Challenges, not only will these push your creative skills, but they also feature some amazing prizes too - just to make sure we keep you motivated.
Design is in the Details – Creative Kickstarter Challenge
Sample squares galore! But why? Because testing out techniques and ideas that are new to us by creating simple sample squares instantly removes the fear of screwing up a piece you’ve spent days working on. This was an absolutely incredible challenge; the submissions were on another level! And the prizes weren’t bad either!
Chunky Chain – Creative Kickstarter Challenge
Practicing those soldering skills with little creativity added in for good measure. Our Chunky Chain Challenge consisted of three submission requirements: Design ideas, samples, and a finished chain. This has to be our most popular Creative Kickstarter to date, not sure if the incredible prizes were the motivating factor, but we’re beyond happy at the submissions.
If you’d like to join the next challenge – it’s starting on 1st June 2022. I can’t give you all the details just yet, but I can share the prizes (worth over $1,300) will be with you!
