Benchspace Bite – Make a Pair 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 two unique sterling silver bangles in this hands-on class.
Add meaningful names or words, create abstract textures, or press patterns onto your flat? bangle, and shape or texture your wire? bangle – 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 two beautiful, wearable pieces that reflect your personal style.
