Upcoming Classes
These earrings were some of my best sellers, I couldn’t make them fast enough. I’m sharing this design (and many other options) with you in this workshop. Beginners are encouraged to join this class!
Students will work with hand tools, sterling silver wire and sheet metal, Flower punch, soldering, and texture. These can be made with bi-metals or sterling silver (or both). Make them as long or as wide as you want & use a flower or domed circle.
There are lots of ways to make this earring your own unique version, with a smaller hoop, a round hoop, the flower can even be on tip with a post. Also texture is a wonderful way to make this earring unique.
Bring a friend & make memories together!
