11.29.25 - Wired & Fired: Charm Bracelet Workshop

Create meaningful metal clay charms and turn them into a one-of-a-kind wire bracelet using classic jewelry-making techniques.

Combine metal clay and wirework into one exciting, hands-on workshop! We'll begin by learning how to work with fine silver metal clay to create two or more unique charms. These will be shaped, textured, and refined before kiln firing.

While your charms are firing, you'll shift into wireworking mode, using sterling silver, stering silver filled wire, or copper colored wire to build a custom bracelet. Techniques covered include making wrapped loops, creating spirals, and forming jump rings and links. Add beads and your newly fired charms to bring your design together in a personalized keepsake bracelet.

Whether you're new to metal clay or brushing up on wire skills, this class offers a well-rounded project with lots of creative possibilities.

✨ All levels welcome.
