Description
Silver Hoop Earrings Workshop
Level: Beginners
Come along and create a corresponding set of beautiful silver hoop earrings! We’ll look at different techniques to texture and form your metal using our hammers & pliers. Experiment first in copper, then, when you’ve found your style, we’ll move on to assembling your earrings in silver. We’ll use soldering techniques to create a set of small, simple hoops for the day and statement hoops for later. This is an energetic and fun workshop that is perfect for beginners!
