Ever had a day where you just wanted to hit something with a hammer? Well, don’t let that moment be destructive! Come learn how to use that urge to create awesome pieces of metal jewelry.
We have a whole day together to learn shaping, stamping, connections, and patina techniques using brass and copper sheet metal. You will take plain sheets of metal and work them into your own creative pieces. You can form earrings, pendants, bracelets, and even rings! You won’t believe how many great tips and tricks you will learn and love! Be sure to wear an old shirt because this is a messy class!
We will be bringing tools for you to use during the class, however if you already have these materials, you might want to bring them along:
Steel bench block
Metal hole punch
Patterned hammers
Metal Stamps
Center punch
Chain nose pliers
Round nose pliers
Chasing hammer
Dapping block
Polishing cloth
Patina Solutions
Metal Shears
Patterns for tracing
Fine point Sharpie marker
Class includes instruction, handouts, use of tools in class and a generous Metals Kit to complete several projects! Assortment of metal working tools and other items will be available for purchase after class.
