PREVIEW THIS YEAR'S CLASS SELECTION
Riveted Links and Rings
Learn to create these unique links and rings using metal texturing and a simple riveting technique. The rings can be made to wear on your fingers or hang off a chain. The links will make a bracelet that is not only fun to make but also fun to wear! Finish off your bracelet with a fabulous clasp you will learn to make. All that’s left is to strut your stuff with your new pieces adorning your wrist and fingers.
Stones in the River
Create your own river. This piece was inspired by a walk along the River Liffey in Ireland. Surprising jigs will be used to shape and forge wire into spacer bars, coils, and a clasp. These will then be used with a mixture of river rock, hematite, glass beads, semiprecious stones, and mother-of-pearl to fashion a dramatic bracelet.
Sparkling Connections Bracelet
Create a sterling silver bracelet using square wires bundled together with half-round sterling wire. Learn how to calculate size, set 4 mm stones in snap-set settings, and bend wires that appear to be weaving together with the settings (connections). Finish your piece by making a classic hinge clasp.
