April Bower | Into the Curve: Synclastic Cuffs | Thursday, February 7th, 2019 | 6 pm until 9 pm
$85.00
Spend an evening learning how to create easy Synclastic shape bracelets with simple handtools.
Many of you have purchased the “April” hammer from me along with the swedge block but maybe never got a chance to give it a work out. Here is your chance! Bring your hammer and swedge block and maybe a friend and we’ll bang out a couple of cuff bracelets. I’ll share with you a bunch of tricks and tips to be successful making these. I will have some April hammers for you to use if you don’t have one and some to purchase if you decide you’d like one of your own. Wood swedge blocks too.
Not too much stress after a hard day of Gem shopping or workshop taking, but a fun, productive evening.
Out of stock
I'm interested in this class. Please add me to the waiting list.
