In this fun and informative one-day workshop, you’ll make a set of up to three stacking bangles in silver, copper, or brass.
During this 5-hour class, you’ll learn how to measure and size bangles accurately, add texture and surface interest, and shape metal using hammers and mandrels. You’ll also be introduced to torch work, including annealing and soldering, to create strong, well-finished pieces.
No previous experience is required—this workshop is a great introduction to traditional silversmithing and metalworking techniques in a supportive studio environment.
You’ll leave with a finished set of bangles made by you!
