COA Professional Crafts: Jewelry Students Take Part in Splash Week

College of The Albemarle’s (COA) Professional Crafts: Jewelry students make a lasting impression at Splash Week in Elizabeth City. On June 7, Dr. Robert Wynegar visited them at the old Seliq building in downtown Elizabeth City.

“This has been a great opportunity for current and past students to share their talent with the community by displaying and selling their artwork. It is beautiful to see all their work together in one place, as well as the many diverse styles,” said, Kathryn Osgood, COA Associate Professor for Professional Crafts: Jewelry.

COA featured artist included: Lou Sanderlin, Suzzette Holmes, Emily Holmes, Annemarie Pomp, Dorothy Ansell, Mark Slagle, Vickie Kittrell, Deloris Samuelson, Bettie Lowe, Amy Wood, Lisa LeMair, Kathryn Osgood, Kitty Dough, Connie May, Cammie Hall and Alison Williams

COA student Dorthy Ansell gave a live demo on cold connections and walked through the process of transforming a beverage can into a pair of earrings with only nail sets, beach block, clippers, hammer and a metal hole punch.
