Description: Explore the versatility of wire in this creative jewelry-making class! Students will design and form individual segments from wire, shaping each piece into unique elements using pliers, mandrels, and other forming tools.

Once the segments are shaped, we’ll refine and connect them together to create a custom bracelet. Along the way, you’ll learn techniques for shaping consistent components, securely joining segments, and finishing your piece with polishing and clasp attachment.

This beginner-friendly class is a great introduction to wirework. By the end of the session, students will leave with a one-of-a-kind bracelet made from their own shaped wire links and the confidence to design future wire-based jewelry projects.

Description: Explore a unique silversmithing technique by weaving strips of sterling silver sheet into a beautiful cuff. This class introduces students to the art of metal weaving, where flat strips of silver are carefully shaped and interlaced to form a striking basket-weave design.

You’ll learn how to measure and cut sheet metal into uniform strips, anneal and prepare the silver for weaving, and use proper techniques to achieve even spacing and tension. Once the weaving is complete, we will focus on shaping the bracelet into a cuff, finishing the edges, and finishing the surface with filing, polishing, and optional textures for a professional look.

This workshop is beginner/intermediate friendly, though some comfort with basic jewelry tools is helpful. By the end of class, each student will leave with a custom sterling silver woven cuff and the skills to explore weaving techniques in future metalwork projects.
