Benchspace Bite – Make a Set of Sterling Silver Bangles – Thursday Evening

Benchspace Bites are fun, hands-on introductory sessions designed for beginners to explore a craft for the first time.  In just one class, you’ll learn fundamental techniques and create your very own piece — perfect for hobbyists, curious creatives, or anyone considering a future in making.

Brace yourself!
Under the expert guidance of tutor Nadine, you’ll design and make four unique bangles in this hands-on class – two in copper and two in sterling silver.
Add meaningful names or words, create abstract textures, or press patterns onto your solid bangles, and shape or texture your round bangles – the options are endless and the choice is yours.  You’ll form and finish your bangles using our professional jewellery tools, leaving your class with four original pieces that reflect your personal style.
Perfect for beginners and makers alike – join us to create something truly one of a kind!
