About this Event
Come learn to make your own copper skull pendant just in time for Make Your Mark: Sterling Silver Pendant Workshop
Create a piece of jewelry that’s uniquely yours! In this hands-on workshop at The Inventor Center, you’ll design your own sterling silver pendant using hammer texturing and letter-stamping techniques. Add initials, letters, or a meaningful detail to make your piece personal, then finish it with a stainless steel necklace.
With the holidays approaching, why not make a little something for someone special, too? You can create additional sterling silver pendants for just $15 more, making them perfect handmade gifts for friends and family!
Whether you’re treating yourself or making something meaningful to give, this workshop is a fun way to explore metalworking and create jewelry you’ll love to wear. No previous experience is necessary, and all tools and materials are provided.
Please wear natural fibers, close-toed shoes, full length pants, and have any long hair pulled back. If you would like to bring your own safety glasses you may; otherwise, we will have extras here.
*Age 16+ (under 18 MUST be accompanied by a guardian)
