Scroll Bracelet Workshop: Intro to Cold Forging Techniques

In this workshop, participants will work with mill-rolled brass to shape, hammer, punch, and refine a structured bracelet form. You’ll also learn how to create wire-formed chain links and closures, as well as how to finish and personalize your piece with crystals or simple inscriptions.

This class is beginner-friendly and offers a strong introduction to traditional metalworking techniques used in jewelry design.

What you’ll learn:

• Hammering, shaping, and punching brass
• Basic metal forming and structure
• Wire link construction and closures
• Filing and finishing techniques

No prior experience is necessary — just bring your creativity! All tools and materials are provided.

Please wear natural fibers, close-toed shoes, full length pants, and have any long hair pulled back. If you would like to bring your own safety glasses you may; otherwise, we will have extras here.
