Corrugated metal earrings - jewelry making class pictures

Share |
I taught another class this past Monday evening on how to make corrugated metal earrings.  Five of the six students had taken a class from me before, so it was fun for me to get a chance to catch up with everyone.


Students for this class got to make two different pair of earrings: one with sheet metal and one with wire.

(These are student Kathy's collection of future earrings from class.)

Everyone had some kind of metalsmithing and jewelry making experience, which helped to allow students to get both pairs made in the two hour class.










We had fun chatting it up too.  It was a great energy in the class.

A little concentration doesn't hurt either.


The general consensus was that making earrings this way is a lot of fun.  Almost everyone purchased extra metal to make a few extra earring pairs for friends and family.


 These are just a few of the finished projects everyone completed in about two hours. 

Chris made these earrings; a pair for her and a pair for her daughter.



 These are Jill's wire earrings.  She couldn't decide on the beads, so she made one of each.

Claudia also made a pair of each.  She admitted she was going to have to do this again. *smile*

Cheryl made her wire earrings with brown goldstone.  











Cheryl's corrugated sheet earrings were also the "guinea pigs" for the tumbler.  













Linda decided she would rather have pendants than earrings.  Her four designs are shown here.







I don't know when I will be teaching this class again, but I know I will also be teaching an "intermediate" level metal corrugation and crimping class sometime in the near future. Check my class schedule to get the latest.

  2. Hi, about your corrugated metal, did you bend it yourself or does it come in sheets pre-bent?

    thanks.

  3. Hi Paul! The metal came as flat sheet and I teach the students how to corrugate it using a variety of tools. The easiest one I can tell you about is the 'Tube Wringer', available through artist (painting) supply shops.
