Class Description

let’s branch out and make a mixed metal organic cuff with some fabulous dangles.

We will begin by texturing and creating the open form copper wire cuff, and adding silver

bitlets.

after shaping, we will work on several options for dangles, including double-sided mixed-metal hollow forms.

for this project  i will be providing heavy gauge copper wire for the cuff.

should you desire to create the cuff itself with sterling silver, you will be asked to bring the silver wire (see optional list).
