Explore the art of forging as a tool for jewelry making. In this two-day intensive workshop, attendees will learn foundational forging techniques such as tapering, scrolling, and shaping copper rod/wire and sheet. Projects include creating a forged and twisted cuff bracelet, and a forged leaf pendant. Participants will develop the skills to add texture, movement, and organic forms to their jewelry, gaining confidence in incorporating forging into both small- and large-scale designs.
