In this "half day" workshop you'll be making this fun coiled wire link bracelet.
You'll learn how to twist your own wire and then coil it. Using various wires, you'll have fun creating several versions of this stylish link. Connect them all together, add a lovely clasp and - voilà - you'll have a beautiful handcrafted bracelet!
Skill Level - At a minimum, students must have basic wireworking skills such as those taught in my Basic Wire Jewelry Techniques I class.
The following is a list of tools that we'll be using during the workshop.
In addition to the workshop fee, a separate materials fee ($10) will be paid at the workshop to cover all materials needed to complete the project. (in copper) The materials fee includes a full-color step-by-step written tutorial.
If you wish to complete the project in silver - a list of necessary materials is available from ArtCenter Manatee upon request.
