— Copper
Bangle with
Coiled Wire Focal —
 In this fun half day workshop you will learn how
to make a beautiful copper bangle bracelet. We will discuss the
different
technical components and design elements, describing how to implement
variations of the basic design and embellish it to make it your
own. You will learn how to make a coiled wire bead focal and a swan
clasp. You will then patina your bracelet, adding depth and richness to
the finished design.
Recommended
tools to bring to
the workshop:
- Flush or semi-flush cutters that
will cut up to 12 gauge wire
- Ball
peen or chasing hammer
- Mandrels
of different sizes (knitting needles and round writing pens work well
for this)
- SharpieŽ
or other indelible pen
Copper
wire for practicing and liver of sulfer for adding a
patina will be provided for you in the class at no charge. A selection
of beads will be available for purchase or you may bring your own (Important Note: If
you bring your own beads, be sure the holes are large enough to
accomodate 12 gauge wire.)
Your
workshop fee includes a complete
copper bangle bracelet take-home tutorial with photos.
