In this class, maker Katheryn Hande will teach you the basics of metalwork for jewelry making and guide you through the fabrication of your own earrings.

We will use wire flush cutters, pliers, hammers and files to shape, work harden and finish the metal pieces. Then we will put it all together into a pair of fashionable and wearable earrings!

Katheryn will provide you with a choice of copper or silver colored wire and a choice of Amazonite or Sunstone beads to tailor these stunning earrings to your own taste.

All supplies included.
