We’ll create some wire-work pieces, make our own metal beads and other components to incorporate into a bracelet, pendant or set of earrings, and then learn how to artificially age them if desired. Make your own chains out of wire or a combination of wire, metal and beads and then we’ll work with sheet metal. The possibilities are endless!
Some wire and equipment are provided, but you will need to bring your own tools after the first class (a basic toolkit will be available to purchase).
