Hand-forged and riveted heart pendant

Nov. 9, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Unlock the joy of taking a piece of 8-gauge round wire and using a hammer to forge and form the wire into this unique heart pendant. Place rivets around the pendant, fuse the bail and personalize it with a special final touch.

Hand-forged fine silver cuff

Nov. 10, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Take fine silver sheet and fine silver wire and create a three-dimensional cuff bracelet. Start the day texturing, sizing and forming a cuff; the second part of the day will be spent forging raised and textured accents to provide structure and stability to reinforce the cuff.
