ONSITE: Textured Bangle Bracelets

Learn to use the rolling mill to roll copper stock wire flat for your bangle. Apply one of three textures demonstrated and try your hand at forging and drilling. We will form a rivet from 12 ga sterling wire and create an accented closure for our bracelet. Finally, shape it round and finish it for wearing. The skills learned as you created this bangle bracelet will go with you, ready to be applied to many adventures in your metalworking future.
