LINKED-IN: A BEGINNING METALSMITHING WORKSHOP
Adult Class | FULL
Create your very own, unique silver and leather cord bracelet. We will forge chain links out of silver wire, use a micro-torch to solder them together and use hammers and stamps to create texture. When the links are finished, we will learn how to attach a stainless steel bayonet clasp and silver cord tips to a length of round braided leather. How will I create my own bracelet in my own style? I will give you choices for your design-3 different sizes of links, whether or not you keep them round or make them into paperclip links, three different colors of braided leather and a variety of hammers and stamps that can create texture and pattern you like. You will make one bracelet. As a bonus, we will create one pair of elegant everyday earrings with the leftover links and French ear wires in silver. Come metalsmith with me at BAYarts! Class size is limited to 8 students and all materials and safety items are provided. Please bring a light snack and drink to enjoy.
