Tuesday, October 14 - Stamps and Stones Cuff
Unleash your creativity—and a little energy—in this immersive metalsmithing workshop! Design and craft a personalized gemstone cuff bracelet while discovering how therapeutic it feels to hammer metal and bring your ideas to life.
We’ll start by covering the fundamentals of hand-stamping with a bench block and hammers – practicing on brass and copper to become comfortable with technique. You’ll learn the process of annealing, softening the metal so it can be shaped and formed into your design. From there, we’ll move into basic soldering techniques, where you’ll solder a bezel and set a gemstone into your final sterling silver cuff.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with:
- One sterling silver cuff with a gemstone setting featuring your stamped design
- A couple of practice cuffs in brass or copper
- Hands-on experience with stamping, annealing, and soldering techniques
- The satisfaction of creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake while hammering out a little stress along the way!
