Kato chose to go out on a limb and make jewellery instead of key tags, rakes or woodwork.
She had to learn properties of the metals and come up with techniques to work it into functional items.
For a first time, from scratch, then losing her first item and having to remake it, I am very proud of her efforts,
she even pressed the school about bringing in a mapp gas torch :lol:
Her teacher didnt know things she learnt along the way, we had a great time working things out
and getting her to have confidence in her work.

This bracelet band is patina'd by using salt, vinegar and amonia -
.
.
Wide band with beaten texture and rolled edge, ridges - looks amazing polished in the tumbler.
.
.
2.5mm solid wire braided and polished, silver soldered ends, looks great - her first item made (twice :/ )
Bracelet hammered copper, torch blued and ridge revealed by sanding for pattern.

Hard at work

Like I said, very proud of her efforts.
