Wrought Iron Bracelets
Unconventional Jewelry

Make a wrought iron bracelet in just a few hours. Use traditional blacksmithing techniques to make a distinctly non-traditional item. Work an iron bar with fire and water, hammer and tongs, vise and anvil. Learn about heat control, hammer control, and self-control while creating a ready-to-wear bracelet with a tapered, sinuous motif. Techniques will include forging (flaring and drawing to a taper), bending, and twisting.

Gift Certificates for Wrought Iron Bracelets are available.
