Learn how to create a beautiful tree of life pendant. In this class you will learn to saw and pierce, file, texture, form, and rivet metal, as well as finish a fine crafted work of copper. We will texture and saw the main pendant, then make a bale and rivet it on. We will patina and polish to finish.
