Workshop Description - In this fun evening workshop you will transform a vintage spice tin (provided) into a pendant necklace (it can also be worn as a pin) that you can complete in class. Techniques learned will be easily cutting metal into shapes, filing and sanding metal, and punching holes in metal to attach embellishments with a jump ring. You will also learn some simple techniques of cold connections for jewelry. Each student will receive a vintage spice tin with appropriate fasteners (see “Materials Fee Includes”) and an embellishment. The techniques you learn in this workshop can also be used to create jewelry pieces from tintypes or from new tins. http://www.jennifercampbellheartwings.blogspot.com/
