In this workshop you will learn the different techniques and tricks of soldering glass charms. First you will design your glass charms and then we will solder them all up. These different size glass charms will all be a part of the “charmed” bracelet that you will make. Your bracelet can be a reflection of you while you design all your little charms with your favorite colors and papers. This is a good class for the beginner solder student.
Materials Fee $30 cash paid at beginning of class includes:
Glass, copper tape, papers, book pages, images, vintage papers, rhinestones, buttons, words, glass glitter, crystals, small bits and pieces, jump rings, patina. (I will have glues, clear caulking, E6000 for use for glueing things inside the charms)
