April Bower | Golden Plumage: 14K GF feather earrings | Wednesday | August 5, 2026 | 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm
$110.00
Learn how to use a more economical Gold: with 14k gold-filled sheet metal.
This class is a fast-paced, no sawing, no soldering workshop.
Gold filled is 10% 14k gold by weight so the layer of gold is substantial, but still needs to be handled in ways to preserve the finish, so you can enjoy the gold jewelry for decades.
Bring your best metal shears (like Joyce Chen or French Shears), some needle files and your bench pin with a clamp & a bench block.
WE WILL RELEASE SEATS FOR PURCHASE THE MORNING OF REGISTRATION.
