Metal Clay Large Hook Bracelet with Tammy Honaman June 19, 10am-2pm

Hook-Style Metal Clay Bracelet Workshop
Design and create a striking, one-of-a-kind bracelet with a sculptural hook-style clasp in this metal clay workshop led by Tammy Honaman, a fun project from her soon-to-be-published book PROJECTS & TECHNIQUES FOR METAL CLAY JEWELRY: A Creative Approach to Making 13 Bracelets, Necklaces, Earrings, Findings & More.

Inspired by a beloved family member, this bracelet blends structure and creativity—giving students the chance to experiment with texture, shape, and optional syringe embellishment for personalized detail. You’ll learn to shape and form the hook and tab clasp using templates and forming tools, then refine, fire, and finish your piece into a functional component that can be strung with chain, beads, or other materials. Whether you lean toward clean simplicity or ornate surface decoration, this class gives you the tools and techniques to make it your own. Skill Level: All levels welcome

What You’ll Learn:
 Rolling, cutting, and forming metal clay for a clasp-style design
 Techniques for optional texture or syringe embellishment
 Creating a functional hook and tab clasp
 Finishing techniques including sanding, polishing, and patina
 Tips for assembling into a complete bracelet

NOTE: Silver Project X Metal Clay is provided for creating the clasp. Students need to bring (or purchase from the studio) beads of your choice and stringing supplies to create a completed bracelet.

All classes are in-person at our Grand Haven, Michigan Studio. When purchasing, please choose "Pick-up" as your shipping option.
