Class Description
My trademark piece that I wear every day is a thick silver bracelet. I’ve only shared this class with one other group, it's never been in a magazine or in a DVD.  Students will learn silver etching, a huge soldering tip, cuff bracelet construction, and how to do a high polish.  Bring your own designs, or Lexi will furnish Celtic, Native American and Arts and Craft style bracelet patterns.   

About the Instructor
Lexi has a Master’s Degree in Jewelry Design and Fabrication and has taught jewelry on the high school/college/university level for 30 years. She has also taught internationally.  Lexi is a Contributing Editor to the oldest Jewelry publication, Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist, and writes a weekly column for the new Jewelry Making Daily. She's also President of Wubbers University, the largest free on-line jewelry school.  Lexi has won numerous ribbon at fine art and craft festivals, sold in galleries for years and now does consulting for new artists just starting out and teaches in her own studio.
