are you ready to get together and play with fire? join me for three very full days to learn an organic, unconventional approach to creating a dynamic hinged bracelet. we will explore fused textures and lovely melty edges. i’ll show you how to create a simple hinge, and a unique integrated clasp that disappears into the design, while adding a figure 8 safety catch. i will cover the basics of bracelet sizing, the tricky art of soldering bezeled stones to a curved surface,
and adding a variety of embellishments. and so. much. more. i’m pretty sure you will walk away with more bang(le) for your buck.
 
in my classes, you are given permission to loosen up and relax your designs (and your shoulders, and that little crease between your eyebrows). there will be lots of encouragement to be spontaneous, push restricting rules aside (safely), and go with the flow. there will be story telling. there will be jokes and possibly cursing. there will be camaraderie. and best of all, there will be fire and flow... are you ready to join me for this explorative journey? let’s do it!
 
recommended skill level: intermediate. yup, there’s some tricky soldering, but i’ll be there for you.
