Saturday 11th February 10-3 at Downham Market
I love to wear a set of stacking bangles and there are so many different types of silver wire available and so many textures to be applied, that this workshop is your chance to experiment with them! This workshop will take place Amy's house in Stradsett, near Downham Market. Amy has the most beautiful home with a large kitchen table. It is an ideal location and Amy always makes delicious cinnamon rolls and there is tea and coffee for you to enjoy during the day.
During this silver stacking bangles workshop, you will be able to make your own set of 3 bangles. We will practise using copper to make one smooth bangle and then will dive in and make your 3 bangles from sterling silver. We will make one smooth one textured bangle and then you can practise with texture to make another bangle or you can use the die to put a curve or a wave in your bangle. We will be soldering your bangles closed and then working on filing and sanding them to get the perfect finish before giving them a good polish.
This workshop is for total beginners to silversmithing and soldering. If you are making your bangles as a gift, please find out the size of the recipient before you come Bangles come in standard sizes - Small (internal diameter of 6cms, Standard is 6.5cms and Large is 7cms.
