Homage Bracelets - Class Description
 
 

The style of this bracelet is perfect for developing an "homage theme". If you just aren't into doing an homage theme, you are free to use whatever design makes your toes twinkle. The first day we will spend planning the design of the bracelet and doing colored metal of anodized aluminum. The second day will focus on fabrication skills (sawing, texturing, filing, finishing, and drilling). On the third day we will connect the parts and finish whatever is left undone from the prior two days.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a 3 day class. Pre-requisite: fabrication skills (sawing, filing, drilling, etc.)
