Make Your Own Forged, Riveted + Textured Bangles

Make your own bangles! In this class, we'll cover rolling copper stock from the local hardware store, the differences between working with bronze and silver, forging a paddle to widen ends, and making your own rivets. By the end of class, you'll go home with three unique bangles—one copper, one bronze, and ome sterling—to wear together or separately.
