I have wonderful workshops scheduled this year! I’ll be introducing my first Advanced Blanking Dies classes along with Tools and Jigs and Die Forming Three Ways. Elizabeth Lyne and I will be teaching our very popular workshop, Imagery on Die Formed Silver, in Maine and California.
I am available for private or small group classes in my studio in Falmouth, Maine or virtually in yours.
Using nature as her inspiration Jayne Redman considers combinations of form and function, integrating mechanics with design and applying innovative engineering methods. This workshop will teach you how to develop patterns for many of the engineering concepts that she works with in her jewelry. Jayne will take you through the design process from initial drawings to final prototypes and finished pieces. You will learn the principles behind centrally radiating forms, properly nested forms, spacing for slotted forms, using faux hinging and tab construction, and work with them to create your own unique designs.
Create a custom workshop! I am available for private or group classes.Learn more about blanking dies, keum-boo or forming sheet and wire. Add to your knowledge of die forming with the hydraulic press and chasing and repousse. Make custom tools to speed up your production. Develop new computer skillsto help with design and prototyping. You will have the opportunity to focus on new areas of special interest orrefresh your knowledge of previously learned skills. Learn in person at Jayne Redman Studio or Online at your own studio via Zoom. Send me an email at jayneredman@me.com to schedule.

The Jayne Redman® Wire and Tube Cutting Jig is the perfect tool for hands free cutting of a wide range of materials and dimensions. Watch my new video to see the jig in action!
The Jayne Redman® Wire and Tube Cutting Jig is the perfect tool for hands free cutting of a wide range of materials and dimensions. Move the Stop up or down the 6″ Jig body and screw down the knurled knob to set the length of wire or tubing for your project. A 2mm setback in the V Channel Insert allows a smaller gauge wire to slide under the Stop and not slip up when the wire is cut. The backside of the V Channel does not have a setback. To use the flush side of the Jig, slide the Stop off the Jig and rotate so that the knurled knob is on the left. Slide the Stop back on the Jig. You will now be able to slide the Stop down the entire length of the jig to cut smaller gauge wire or tubing less than 2mm long.
Use the saw guide left or right handed by unscrewing the Thumbscrew and inserting it into the Saw Guide from the opposite end. Rotate the Saw Guide with the V Channel on top and screw the Thumbscrew into the Jig, lining up the Stabilizing Plug in the adjacent hole. Remove the Saw Guide entirely to flush cut wire.
For Hands free use screw through the beveled hole in the upper left of the Jig and into your bench top. Or remove one of the screws from the Aluminum surface of your Jayne Redman® Rotational Bench Pin. Use it to screw directly through both the beveled hole in the upper left of the Jig and the Aluminum Surface into the Rotational base.
The Jayne Redman® Wire and Tube Cutting Jig is the perfect tool for hands free measuring and cutting of a wide range of materials and dimensions. Move the Stop up or down the 6″ Jig body and screw down the knurled knob to set the length of material to be cut. A 2mm setback in the V Channel Insert allows material of a smaller gauge to slide under the Stop and not slip up when the wire is cut. The opposite side of the V Channel does not have a setback and is flush with the face. Slide the Stop off the Jig and rotate it so the knurled knob is on the left. You will now be able to cut small gauge material to less than 2mm in length. For smooth movement of the Stop, push from the center.

“Known for her innovative approach to working with three-dimensional components, Jayne Redman has mastered the art of using multiples of the same shape in her designs. This week, she was at Rio Grande teaching her class, Form and Function—Engineering for Multiples. We popped in to get a few tips for makers interested in her process.” – Rio Grande
The Jayne Redman® Rotational Bench Pin System has two new Purple Heart Wood work surfaces – the Mini Pin and the Ring Pin. Both measure 5 inches by 3 inches and fit on all three base styles. The new Plier Stand is the main component of the Jayne Redman® Bench Accessories System. The components can be combined to create multiple stands using either Purple Heart Wood or Aluminum Legs. For more info go to the Tools page.
The Jayne Redman® Bench Accessory System allows you to combine components to create a custom tool organizer. The System consists of an Aluminum Body section and either an Aluminum or Purple Heart Wood Leg Set. The Aluminum Body has a top slot on one side and a bottom slot on the other. Slide the corresponding slotted legs onto the body section to create a single stand or combine more than one body section to create a multiple stand.
Use your Jayne Redman® Bench Accessory System to hold pliers, shears, tweezers or any compatibly shaped tool.

The Jayne Redman® Rotational Bench Pin family has a new member! I have designed a dovetail mounting plate to use with the Dovetail Adaptor Rotational Base. It screws onto the front of your bench allowing you to quickly slide one bench pin off and the other on to the plate. Coming soon to Rio Grande Jewelry Supply, or contact me for more information.
