This workshop focuses on metalworking fundamentals. Learn how to forge, anneal, pickle, texturize, form, file, work-harden, patina, and polish heavy gauge round wire into beautiful, organic bangles. The open ended design allows for the perfect fit for people with larger or smaller than average hands. Come see how fun it is to create a wrist full of textured bangles.
