In this hands‑on class, we’ll take small pieces of hardwood and turn them into unique earrings and pendants. Your instructor will walk you through bandsaw skills for safely cutting small shapes, and we’ll spend time on sanding techniques that help your creations feel smooth, intentional, and ready for finishing. You’ll also learn how to drill clean, accurate holes sized just right for jewelry hardware. We’ll look at a few different finishing methods—oil, wax, and soft‑sheen options—to bring out the natural color and grain of the wood while keeping everything feeling warm and organic. To complete your pieces, we’ll go over the basics of attaching jewelry hardware so you can turn your shapes into earrings or pendant necklaces. You can choose from several different metal colors to fit your style. Optional Afternoon Add‑On: Pyrography Wood Jewelry If you want to keep going, this morning class pairs beautifully with the pyrography workshop taught by the same instructor after lunch. In the afternoon session, you’ll learn how to use woodburning tools to add patterns, textures, and detailed illustrations—either on the pieces you made earlier in the day or on the wood materials provided in the pyrography class. It’s a relaxed, creative way to deepen your skills, explore surface decoration, and leave with even more custom work you’re proud of.
The materials fee is $10 and is included in the admission cost.
