Join us for Anni Albers Necklace with Joan Namkoong
Make this unique and lovely necklace with metal washers and grosgrain ribbon, based on jewelry designs by Anni Albers and Alexander Reed. Simple to make and fun to create — you’ll wear your necklace home and have one as a gift!
Anni Albers (1899-1994) is considered the foremost textile designer of the 20th century. As both student and teacher in the weaving workshop at the Bauhaus, Albers had an enormous effect worldwide on fabric design and the creation of singular weavings and wall hangings. The necklace design is based on an original piece featured in a 1941 traveling exhibit of common object jewelry by Albers and Black Mountain College colleague Alexander Reed. Albers believed common objects could look “quite beautiful and even precious.” The supply fee includes all materials, and is payable to the instructor at the start of class. Please wear a sweater if you get chilled in air conditioning.
What to bring:
- $12 supply fee
- Optional: bring a small bottle or object to loop over
