Fold-formed Copper Shield w/Silver Accent Earrings $140
2026-04-25 11:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
Practice some favorite metalsmithing techniques including folding, hammering, texturing, and more, to create copper earrings featuring a standout silver accent and sterling silver earwires. The project requires a liner tool for the decorative marks on the cross, which an be purchased at a jewelry supply shop, or made by filing the end of a small flat screwdriver. Another essential item is a smooth, fixed sanding surface to easily assist in preparing metal parts for soldering together. Medium to medium/fine sandpaper is recommended for this purpose: glue sandpaper (or use adhesive-backed) to flat wood blocks or paneling pieces, ahead of the class.

Class price includes all materials needed to make the earrings – does NOT include tools – you must bring what’s on the tool list.

Note: All tools for classes must be purchased at Beadoholique Bead Shop. This allows us to continue providing you with quality classes.

Metalworking: Framed Dome Bead Pendant
2026-05-30 11:00 - 16:00
Learn to set either a large bead or button inside a richly textured copper frame…made in a different way! This class requires typical metalsmithing skills, only some of which are sawing, filing, annealing, texturing, dapping, and perhaps, optional riveting. Options include creating your own bail to connect to the jump rings (photo), or forming a square wire bail as shown. This wire is easily lengthened to a choker necklace, a nice design.

The button works great if it has “troughs” on the back that some vintage buttons have, shown in the inset photo. A button with a loop can work provided the loop can be removed, which can require up to 6 tabs on the frame.

Please ask any questions on these before the class.

Kit Fee: The kit for the class will be added to your ticket on the day of class.

Note: All materials and tools for classes must be purchased at Beadoholique Bead Shop. This allows us to continue providing you with quality classes.
