Metal Jewelry Making Demo with Cheryl Fulcher

Join Cheryl Fulcher for demonstrations on how to make a forged cuff bracelet and chain-link jewelry. The forged cuff bracelet demo will be an interactive display to promote conversation around tool options and the process. (Due to the loud noise, Cheryl won’t be hammering as earplugs are recommended.) This display will offer a variety of tool options, ranging from basic affordable tools for those just starting out, to more specialized jewellery tools. She will have pieces in progress set up with the various tools to demonstrate how they can be used.

Cheryl will also be giving an interactive ongoing demonstration of how to make various types of chain links. She will have various types of weaves in progress to demonstrate how they are made. The display will offer a variety of tool options, ranging from, a basic set of pliers, to more specialized jewellery tools, how to make your own links from wire versus purchasing commercially prepared links, how the inner diameter and wire gauge (thickness) will determine the look and shape of the pattern, various metal options, the display will feature sterling silver, copper, stainless steel and rubber “o” rings, and an assortment of books I have found to be great resources for making chain mail jewellery.
