On The Cuff Class
-Susan-
Meet some of the incredible women who joined Riki Schumacher and I in our "On The Cuff" class this weekend. First of all, Susan (above), showing off her Pearls of Wisdom cuffs.

-Gwynnie-
-Sara (left), Pat (center), and Trisha (right)-
-Brenda getting ready to use the flex shaft-
This group of women amazed me in what they accomplished in just two days. For some, this was their very first jewelry design class ever. Students got to play with shear breaks; belt sanders; torches; bracelet benders; flex shafts; jeweler's saws; etching; making hinges; wire-wrapping; cold joining and all kinds of hand tools in this class.
As you can see everyone completed at least two bracelets.
What a joy it was to share this past weekend with you all. You each added so much to my teaching experience. I always learn so much from you all. Despite the challenges of learning so much in so little time, all of you over came the obstacles with a sweet smile on your face and achieved a sense of accomplishment and gratification of having completed a project....and completed it well.
Look at these beautiful creations each now wears as an adornment. Each time you wear your cuffs, I hope that you will have a smiling heart as you recall your weekend with us and give yourself a hug knowing you made time for yourself and allowed your creative spirit to play.
OR
Adorn your "Wonder Woman" cuffs and go and conquer the world!!
Thank you all!!!

Beautiful work! Oh, sounds like you had such a great time...and they have the biggest smiles on their faces! I know they are so happy and so full of accomplishment with all they learned from two very talented jewelry artists this past weekend =)
Luv ya lots....
Great class, great instructors, great students!! And all with fabulous bracelets to Rule the World!
Those look amazing! I wish I had the sort of arms that looked resplendent in cuffs. Alas. I do not.
I just had to CATCH UP on your blog. Shame on me for being so far behind but... WHERE DOES TIME GO? I LOVE all the bling you got at the faire when you & Riki went to play! And all the girls cuffs look divine! Please give my sweet friend Susan a hug for me & tell her I am missing her, you & Riki! HUGS!
