Classic Bangle
Classic Bangle
This design is a classic indeed. Join instructor Janice Berkebile as she fires up her torch and walks you step-by-step through fusing heavy-gauge fine silver wire. This class is for the intermediate student who has experience working with a torch and fusing metal. Janice also shares how to perfectly size, stamp, texture and adorn the bangle with metal floater beads. After you complete this class, you will be ready to make a stack of pretty bracelets that fit your wrist perfectly.
This class has a run time of 38 minutes.

I loved this class. I can't wait to make these bangles. Janice is a very thorough instructor. She breaks down the process into bite size pieces. I never doubt that I can accomplish what she is teaching. I also love the look of her pieces. Such talent!!!

Janice is easy to listen to and explains things very well. I like that she tells why it is necessary to do things a certain way. The bangles are beautiful!
