This is a 4 day workshop: March 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th from 10am to 12:30pm

Students will learn how to shape flat stock into wonderful bracelets. We will explore a variety of hammers and stakes that make it possible to form concave and convex bangles and slightly rounded cuffs. Using brass and copper sheet and seamless brass tubing, we will produce several bracelets all of which can be worn together. These are really fun to make. Processes explored will be riveting, soldering, hammering, sawing, filing and polishing. If you want to use silver, blanks can be purchased from the instructor at market value. 

Class Fee: $165.00 + 15.00 materials fee paid directly to the instructor.
