COLD CASTING JEWELRY

The Vicksburg Art Association will offer a hands-on cold casting jewelry class November 3rd and 4th from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the Firehouse Gallery. Class will break for lunch and participates are encouraged to bring their own sack lunch and drinks. The instructor, Dell Clark, studied metalsmithing in England, Brighton Polytechnic and West Dean College. His jewelry designs tend to be non-complex and more to the earthy, primitive side of nature.

Various ways will be demonstrated and taught to trap, capture and present stones, beads, and other found objects. Participants will learn how to make necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other wearable art.

The classes are open to the public and no jewelry experience is required. Class fees are $65.00 for members of the Vicksburg Art Association and $70 for non-members. The class size is limited, those interested should call Linda Jackson, VAA workshop chairman, at 601-636-4446 or 601-415-4101 for more details and a list of items to bring to class.

About the Firehouse

                        The VAA is fortunate to have as its headquarters one of Vicksburg's first firehouses. This building has been designated as a Mississippi Landmark by the Department of Archives and History. The Old Constitution Firehouse is believed by the Archives and History Department to be the most intact Victorian fire station in the state.

It was built in 1870 as the second house for the city's first volunteer fire company and later housed the first paid company.

  The building retains the central stall, barracks room, cupola, and bell which was used to call the volunteers.

  The presence of the fire station made the Openwood - Main Street area one of the most desirable residential districts in Vicksburg before 1876.
