Instructor: Julia Lowther  


This lovely ornament is more than just a light holder; it's a testament to your skill, creativity, and precision. Creating a pierced tea light allows you to practice techniques like piercing, stamp patterning, and forming that are all fundamental in the field of jewelry making. You will learn to use tabs and slots to create a precise cylinder with a securely attached round bottom. Demonstrations include laying out the blank, piercing/drilling/stamping decorative elements, shaping the cylinder and base, and attaching the handle. 

A base pattern for the blank, with all the necessary tabs and slots, will be provided, along with several patterns for decorative piercing/drilling/stamping (including the pouncing fox!). You can then use the base pattern to develop your own personalized designs.

This project offers an opportunity for learners to apply their skills in a new context, resulting in a charming piece that illuminates their homes and showcases their craftsmanship and creativity.

No torch required.
