$ 140  

Learn to make beautiful one-of-a kind charms from PMC3 and a sterling link bracelet.  We’ll cover alternative firing techniques and everything you need to get started with PMC.  After a morning of making charms, we’ll cover simple and fun wire technique for creating a coil link charm bracelet.  We’ll use a butane torch to make strong headpins to add a few beads.  The possibilities are endless and this technique is addicting.
