Dazzling Dangles 6:30 - 9:30 Wednesday Riki Schumaker $70
Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Project
Prerequisite: None
These necklaces prove that metalwork needn’t be complicated or expensive to be amazing. We will transform a variety of round wires into a fantastic organic piece. Heavy wire is hammered, shaped and formed creating a beautiful collar focal. Then forge, anneal and shape thinner wire into textural dangles to enhance this fashion forward look. Create playful movement and everyday wear ability. Choose to make one of the designs shown above or one of your own design.

10-, 16-, 18-gauge dead-soft round bronze wire
