For my senior project I am interning with Barry Peterson for three weeks. I have worked with jewelry for a very long time. I started making jewelry in 6th grade and progressed from a plastic bead stringer to a fine jeweler that solders silver. I want to further my knowledge and learn how to cast silver and set jewels. The other component to my senior project will be photography. I have always been interested in photography but I have never really had the time to pursue this passion. I will make my jewelry and then photograph it on people. I will learn about how skin tones and eyes play into photographing jewelry.
