▪ Metal Garden Bracelet Workshop ▪

Skill Level

Students attending this workshop should have basic soldering skills and be comfortable around the torch. Optionally, students may opt to build their bracelet using cold connections. Experience with jewelry hand tools is helpful.

Tools

Important: There is no need for you to go out and purchase any tools. All tools necessary for completing the project will be available at the workshop. However, some training venues have a smaller tool inventory than others, which may mean sharing.

For that reason, I recommend you bring your own small hand tools (i.e. pliers, cutters, favorite hammer, metal shears, etc.) if you have them. (Note: I usually have quality tools available for purchase at the workshop.) Contact me if you have any questions.
