SUMMARY:Metalworking: Colored Copper & Silver Valentine Necklace $100
DESCRIPTION:This is an intermediate to advanced metalworking skills. Follow this basic design and create your own rustic-style Valentine’s Day necklace from sterling silver and heat-colored copper. The project utilizes cold connections (riveting) to create a framework for copper hearts that are torch-colored red and treated with lacquer to preserve color. The silver pieces are additionally textured by hammering with a ball peen hammer and bent to shape where shown. The pendant is otherwise oxidized with liver of sulfur\, and suspended from your choice of silver link chain that can be decorated with beads and spacers. Credit for design inspiration: Allison Norfleet Bruenger.  \n\n\n\nPlease Read: The class fee shown above does not include any materials. You will be charged for materials the day of the class.
