Mixed Metals Bangles - Saturday Metalsmithing Workshop

Learn the art of bangle-making! You will leave with personalized bangles at the end of the day (2 sterling silver and 3 brass). Brass will also be available to add on accents to the bangles.

PLEASE BRING A SKETCHBOOK AND PENCIL.

$99 workshop fee does not include materials. The $45 materials kit can be purchased from the instructor at the beginning of the workshop via Venmo, CASH, or credit card.

(For safety, be sure to wear closed toe shoes and have long hair pulled back with clips or in a ponytail.)

We will have a 20-minute break, so feel free to bring a snack.

Open to adults only.

About the instructor: Olivia Boi creates jewelry at her home and metals studio in Maine. Sterling silver, brass, and beautifully cut stones are the bread and butter to her practice. She started Strong Moon Metals December 2017 and hasn’t looked back ever since. You can find more of her work on her website, or in person at local shows around the Portland area.
