Linda and Opie O'Brien 9-4:30 Thursday	873 - Tintastic 2: Put the Pedal to the Metal	[back to quicklinks] $ 130 Plus $20 materials fee
Well, technically we'll be putting hammer and chisel to the metal in this exciting, yet new and completely different version of our most popular class: "Tin"tastic: the whole 9 yards".  The funky, chunky, sterling silver bracelet remains, but will be aged and oxidized and, instead of pairing tin can charms with found objects, this bracelet sports brand new charms that combine and layer a medley of mixed metals.   New techniques and demos abound as tin cans and copper sheet unite in riveted harmony; window and tin tab charms are introduced and, last but not least, sterling silver enters the mix adding hand hammered and textured pizazz!  As a finishing touch, metal and glass beads will accentuate each charm, providing both contrast and balance, and this time around, we'll trade-in our resistors for wire as our primary means of attachment.  All Levels Supply List: --fine tin shears, two-hole metal punch and mini-eyelet setter --jewelry pliers: one round nose, two flat nose and cutters --a small steel block or anvil and a rubber hammer --some 20 gauge real copper wire (not coated artistic wire) --an ultra-fine sharpie and a ruler --a thin awl or needle tool and a small flat metal file Optional: --a few metal alphabet/number stamps if you have them Materials fee includes:  a thick sterling silver bracelet & closure, all rivet and oxidation materials, copper, sterling silver and colorful tin can sheet metals, a handout, metal & glass accent beads, but bring a few of your own beads/charms to personalize it. Note: if you have any questions about tools, please email us at: gourdart@burntofferings.com. you can also see pictures of the tools we use/sell on our website at:  www.burntofferings.com.
