Join our workshop and craft a one-of-a-kind bracelet and/or necklace featuring a woodburning design, all made by you. The session will be divided into two segments: the initial phase focuses on woodburning, while the second phase allows you to transform your creations into a stunning bracelet or necklace. With two talented instructors collaborating, you'll enjoy a unique experience that combines two artistic techniques.

In the first part of the class, you'll dive into your woodburning project. All necessary materials will be supplied, including wire woodburning tools, 1.5” wood slices, and other essential items. You can either select from a range of pre-made designs or create your own artwork on the wood before bringing it to life with your burning technique.

During the second half of the class, after completing your woodburned creation, you'll transform it into a beautiful bracelet and/or necklace. Each participant will receive a kit specifically for making their own jewelry. By the end of the session, you'll have a one-of-a-kind piece crafted entirely by you.

This class is suitable for all ranges and levels of experience. Students under 18 must have a guardian present. The accompanying guardian does not have to register for the class, but they are welcome to do so if they wish to join in the fun.
