This lively, hands-on workshop is designed for complete beginners, but it’s also a great opportunity for more experienced students to enjoy a creative session making their own unique bangle! Everyone will leave with a beautifully finished bracelet of their own preferred texture.
We’ll begin by experimenting on a sample strip of copper, where you’ll practice creating textures using hammers, punches and stamps. Once you’re confident you’ll move on to your main project: a 3mm wide flat strip bracelet in either sterling silver or copper, crafted entirely by you from start to finish. Along the way, you’ll learn essential jewellery making skills including measuring, texturing, soldering, shaping, and finishing.
Students are free to personalise their bangle with textures or stamped designs. This could be a simple hammered finish, decorative patterns, or meaningful words, names, dates, or poetry lines - making your bracelet truly one of a kind.
Beginners will work with the 3mm strip provided, ensuring a rewarding project that’s manageable to complete. Wider metal is much harder to form and solder, so we are learning to walk before we can run ;)
Copper is included in the course fee, if you wish to work in silver you can purchase it on the day.
Experienced students may choose to challenge themselves by making a wider bracelet from flat strip or by creating additional bangles in silver wire. (Please note: extra silver for wider bangles is available to purchase at the workshop for experienced students only, and let us know if you wish to go wider so we can make sure we have the strip in stock).
This workshop is a taster class: perfect for anyone seeking a fun, creative experience with a beautiful result, or for those looking to dip their toes into jewellery making and build foundational skills.
Workshop fee for Copper bracelets $128, early bird $115 till 15 March.
