In this wonderful technique class, you’ll learn how to create your own metal components to use for earrings, necklaces, or bracelets. All supplies and tools to use are included in the price of class. Students will emboss pewter, copper, and/or brass metal blanks using Sizzix© embossing die plates and a Bigkick hand-operated press, designed for Vintaj brand metal blanks. It is all very fun!
