Create a sculptural cuff bracelet while learning foundational metalsmithing techniques. In this class, students will solder two wires together, twist them to create a striking pattern, and then form the metal into a cuff bracelet.
After twisting, students will solder the ends, shape the bracelet to fit the wrist, and finish the surface for a polished final piece.
Students may choose to work with two sterling silver wires or combine sterling silver with copper or brass for a mixed-metal design.
