A unique class at Warren Wilson College, Matt Haugh’s “Ferrous Jewelry: Matter In Motion” is a special space where craft and art collide.
Students of various majors and backgrounds come together to learn how to create wearable, usable and tactile pieces of art. Haugh’s direction gives students the tools to try anything they can imagine using the tools and forges on campus.
