In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn to purchase, label, and form sterling silver wire into round, square, and traditional earring shapes. Metalsmith Liz will guide you through alternative hooks, enhancing your jewelry-making skills. Eclypse will then show you how to create dangle elements using up-cycled denim, crafting feather or leaf shapes with a soft fringe look. Experiment with textures, dimensions, and styles to elevate your designs.
You will be able to create two pairs of earrings using sterling silver and up-cycled denim. There is the option at the class to purchase additional earring kits if you choose to create more.
