In this beginner's workshop, we will make a series of small metal charms using a variety of introductory skills, including filing, sawing, surface embellishment, basic soldering, and metal finishing. Each participant will make enough charms by the end of day 3 to participate in a charm swap with the other members of the workshop. Participants will leave with a variety of charms that can be used to make a bracelet that is a souvenir of the experience. Exclusive for beginners.
