This class has prerequisites please see details below before you register.
This 2 session class is designed for students looking to hone their previous experience with tool and torch skills. The instructor will provide demonstrations. With guided hands-on repetition, a toggle bracelet is a great project to help improve your skills. In this class, we will be using copper wire to learn the process and sterling silver wire for your final project.
Torch experience required.
Students will be able to see samples for inspiration and receive a step-by-step demonstration, safety, and tool use from the instructor. This class will be taught using the Smith® Little torch. All materials and tools needed will be provided for use during this class.
Students are encouraged to register separately for an open studio to practice their skills between these sessions to get the most out of this class. Please see our calendar here.
