Service charges may apply Student metalsmiths fashion education people can wear ■Students use their skills to raise money for the department and themselves By Mason West Oregon Daily Emerald When confronted with the chal lenge of making 20 to 40 pieces of jewelry in less than two weeks on a self-determined budget, junior Kel ly Shannon conjured up a crus tacean. The ring design Shannon created relies on folds to shape the metal like a cocktail shrimp. “It was like an origami thing,” she said. “You can use metal like a lot of different elements; I thought of us ing it like paper.” These shrimp rings are Shan non’s contribution to the Metal smithing and Jewelry Program’s Cheap Jewelry Sale, happening to day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the lob by of Lawrence Hall. More than 400 pieces for the sale were made by in termediate and advanced students in metalsmithing as a class project. Though the project is required for the class, students buy most of their materials. Tracy Steepy, visiting as sisting professor for the metal smithing department, said part of the challenge is for students to budget themselves for a production line where no piece will be sold for more than $10. Students are not graded on how well their work sells, but they have some motivation. “The sale is designed as a fundraiser for the department, but proceeds are split 50/50 with the students,” Steepy said. Shannon found a cheap solution for her project: using the free scrap metal available in the workshop. Se nior Devienna Anggraini is working with copper wire and enameling to make necklaces, earrings and bracelets. She said 40 yards of wire costs $1.99, but the real cost is the time she spends working with it. Neither Shannon nor Anggraini could give an exact number of hours they spend working on their proj ects. Steepy said the department recommends students spend at least six hours a week outside of class, but Shannon said metal smithing students typically spend much more than that. Maru Almeida did all her work for the sale this week, but the third year master of fine arts student has already had some practice. This is her third sale with the University, and she participated in three others during her undergraduate work at University of Texas at El Paso. Almeida waited to start work on the sale because she said she was focus ing on the “Hermetic Insights” show, which features work from the metalsmithing graduate students. Her pieces on display this week in the La Verne Krause Gallery are part of her graduate project to incorpo- * rate sugar with precious materials to make jewelry. Almeida said she enjoys experi menting with new materials that she must find ways to manipulate. So far, she has been working with sugar packing, crystal growing and melted sugar to create different pieces. Toy ing with the convention that jewelry must be made of precious materials plays a big part in Almeida’s aesthet ic ideology, she said. “You might want to eat these,” Almeida said about her pieces. “You’ll think about how you are go ing to enjoy this piece — look at it, wear it, imagine what it tastes like. ” Shannon said her drive to create pieces is not grounded in the process of creation but in the aes thetic. As she held the shrimp ring, she said, “I’m not interested in mak ing this to make it. I’m more into it structurally. Jewelry is like small sculptures.” To produce a volume of pieces for the show, Shannon said the design has to be “dumbed down” aestheti cally and economically. “You still have to be artistic,” she said, “just within stricter parame ters.” Both Steepy and Almeida said part of the show’s purpose is to give students a practical perspective on their profession. “As an artist, sometimes it’s good to rely on the fact that you can create something that will be profitable,” Almeida said. * At the same time, Almeida came to the United States from her home in Chihuahua, Mexico, to study * jewelry as an art form. She said if she would have stayed in Mexico, she would have learned to make jewelry as a trade without any per sonal artistic exploration. Almeida said the contact between jewelry and the wearer doesn’t lessen its artistic value, rather it makes jewel ry an “intimate art.” “I’ve never had anything that is gold or diamonds or precious in it self,” she said, “but an original piece of jewelry can say a lot more about the person.” Mason West is the senior Pulse reporter for the Oregon Daily Emerald.

Lauren Armstrong, a senior theater arts major who plays Dana in “Peep hole,” said she enjoys the challenges other part. Armstrong said she idol izes her character because Dana ques tions everything she is told and can remain perfectly calm in the face of danger and death. She described the play as the story of “a yuppie couple, Dana and Gerard, residing in a large city during the Apocalypse. ” “ (Dana’s) driving force—her rea son for living at this point in her life — is not her material possessions, her place in a capitalist society or a belief in a divine entity, but her love New & Used Vinyls CDs & Tapes 258 E. 13th Eugene 342-7975 for Gerard,” Armstrong said. Willis said the playwrights, stu dent actors, designers and crew members have all made valuable contributions to the plays while defining their talents. But he also said the two plays are very different from each other. “‘Peephole’ is slightly absurdist, while ‘Leaving Shallot’ is very natu ralistic,” he said. “Both plays con tain a mix of humor and serious emotion, though the balance is more comic in ‘Peephole’ and more dramatic in ‘Leaving Shallot.’” This is his fourth production in the Arena Theatre, and Willis said he has been faced with coordinating the efforts of all the artists working on the production of both plays, in stead of just one. 492 E 13th 686-2458 Tiroes valid November 16th - 22nd orriy!
