Copper Cuff Bracelets
Instructor: Christie Harris
Dates/times:
May 11th and 18th, 11:00AM-1:00PM
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.
