Celtic or Viking Torc Cuff Bangles
Class level: 
​Beginners - No experience necessary, but ideal if you have some experience with annealing metal.

Outline: 
​During this 4 1/2 hour class you will learn how to anneal (soften) your metal to be able to easily bend the wire. You will then be shown two methods for twisting the wire - by hand and also using a drill. You will also be shown a few different design options of what you'd like to make - whether a flat 2 wire cuff, or a multi strand twisted wire torc style cuff. 

We appreciate silver is expensive, so we will work in copper; however should you wish to make your bangle in silver, you are welcome to bring your own silver, or if you prefer Tracy can order in for you. Please contact Tracy to discuss lengths and thicknesses of wire, before you purchase anything.

This intimate unisex class which is held in our Liverpool workshop, is also a great environment to develop your creativity and do something fun with like-minded people. It also offers the opportunity to make lovely original gifts, and it might even be the start of a new career.
