— Scrumptious Scarf Pins —

scarf & lapel pinIn this fun half-day workshop you'll learn how to make a spring-based pin with a catch, and then add a variety of wiredoodles, beads, pearls or charms to fashion a wonderful scarf or lapel pin. You'll then "age" your jewelry in liver-of-sulfer and polish it to a brilliant shine! These pins are wonderful accessories and they make terrific gifts as well! 


Recommended tools to bring to the workshop:

  • Round nose pliers
  • Flat nose pliers
  • Chain nose pliers
  • Flush cutters
  • Ball pein or chasing hammer
  • Mandrels of different sizes (knitting needles and round writing pens work well for this)
  • Needle files
  • 6 inch ruler
  • Steel bench block
  • Sharpie® or other indelible pen
  • Hand towel
  • Polishing cloth
Copper wire for learning and practicing and liver of sulfer for adding a patina will be provided for you in the class at no charge.

Assorted beads will be available for purchase. However, please feel free to bring your own.

Your workshop fee includes a complete written take-home tutorial with photos.

Basic wire working skills recommended but all skill levels are welcome.
