Copper Cuff Bracelets

Instructor: Christie Harris

Dates/times:

April 20 and April 27, 2024 – 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

 In this “make and take” class, participants will explore fold forming and texturing copper to create a copper cuff bracelet. Participants will force the copper to patina, choosing from a variety of techniques, and finish their bracelet with a wax sealant. We’ll be using a mapp gas torch to anneal our pieces. Participants should be comfortable with the idea of holding and firing a torch. This is a two-session class.

Key learning points:

·        Cutting copper base metal

·        Annealing

·        Fold forming

·        Using texturing (and other) hammers

·        Exploring patina

SAFETY: Participants should bring gloves to prevent cuts from sharp metal. Long hair should be tied back.
