All you need is internet access and a TV, mobile device or computer capable of playing them. Unlike live video courses, where you have to be present at a prearranged time, you can watch on demand courses on your schedule. When you enroll in the course, the lessons are yours to watch whenever, wherever, forever. As you follow along in the lessons, you will watch instructor, Tom Woods, as he makes a bracelet from start to finish. He guides you every step of the way. He explains every detail. Some of the things you’ll learn about include: bezel making tips and tricks, how to measure and size a bracelet, a simple and effective clasp technique, texturing and forming metal, fusing and soldering techniques, buffing and polishing, and how to set a cabochon in a bezel. It is suggested you watch every lesson to get an overview of the project. Then after you work through the lessons, go back and begin making a bracelet of your own. Review the lessons a second time or even more as you progress. There is no start date for this course. Just enroll and get unlimited access. You will receive an email containing links to all the online lessons, a list of tools and supplies you will need, and a list of suppliers.
If you don’t have your own tools, you can utilize Littleton Studio School’s open studio hours to make the bracelet there. Please reach out to info@littletonstudioschool.org to schedule a time.
