Shannon Bundschuh | Nordic Bells: a charm workshop | Wednesday, February 4, 2026 | 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm

$110.00

A tiny bell that rings with joy.

In this hands-on metalsmithing class, students will create their own Scandinavian-style bell charms—small, wearable pieces inspired by Nordic folk art and clean, timeless design.

These miniature bells actually ring and are full of personality, making them a perfect mix of form and function.

You’ll learn to fabricate a small bell using sterling silver, cut and shape decorative motifs, and assemble the pieces into a dimensional charm with sound and movement.

Whether worn as a pendant, added to a bracelet, or gifted to someone special, each bell tells its own story.

This is a playful, approachable project with a beautiful result—and a great way to expand your metalsmithing skill set in a joyful, creative setting.

Let it ring!
