Jewelry Class
In this 6-week class, you will learn to make your own jewelry findings and components – you’ll never need to buy premade ear wires and jump rings again! We’ll talk about the properties of metal and the different techniques that allow us to manipulate it. 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).
Fridays 2/22, 3/1, 3/8, 3/15 3/22, 3/29 — 6-8pm, $150 SIGN UP
