The kit fee is based on the silver market on 9/18/2026. The final kit fee will be evaluated and finalized 3 weeks prior to the class date. I will be sending out invoices to have the kits paid for at that time so I can lock in the best prices for the kits.
About this class
One figure eight is good. Two are even better!
In this four-hour class, I’ll show you how to transform 14-gauge fine silver wire into my double-layer figure-eight links and then connect them one by one to create this wonderfully substantial bracelet.
Along the way, you’ll get plenty of hands-on time with fine-silver fusing — forming your links, getting comfortable with the process and watching your bracelet grow right across your bench.
This is a terrific class for anyone who wants to fine-tune their fusing skills, but no previous experience is necessary. I will take you through it step by step.
By the end of class, all those little 8’s will have become one pretty fabulous bracelet!
