Forging Bracelets Workshop
Adult Workshop | Available
Learn to make unique jewelry in a unique way—from forged steel. This class will teach you hand forging techniques to transform steel into personalized bracelets that can be as delicate or “statement” as you want. The class will begin with demonstrations in forging and torch work. Students will have time to experiment and test techniques and then develop bracelet projects of their own design: chains, bangles, cuffs, stacking. The class is open to all levels: beginners will learn the basics, and students with experience can add to their repertoire. The instructor prioritizes individual expression, exploration, and enjoying the process!
