WELCOME BACK! Kim St Jean | Wild Wilma: Chunky Links Bracelet using Recycled Silver | Wednesday, February 4, 2026 | 9:00 am until 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm
$330.00
In this class you will be making an organic chunky link bracelet with a toggle clasp.
The Wilma Bracelet pays homage to Wilma Flinstone. Remember her chunky jewelry? This will be the inspiration for creating your own chunky link bracelet!
You will be using your own silver scrap or scrap available for purchase at time of class.
The size of links is up to you.
I say, “Go big or go home.”
For some added texture, casting grains are a fun option as well.
If you have enough time and silver, you may want to make a few extra links for a pendant or a set of earrings!
You can combine your sterling silver, fine silver and metal clay scraps.
No Argentium please.
