Create a meaningful bracelet. Create a meaningful mindset.
Have you ever noticed how the words you repeat to yourself shape your day?
Whether it's an affirmation, a personal mantra, or a simple reminder of who you want to be, the thoughts you choose have power. They influence how you see yourself, how you respond to challenges, and ultimately how you move through life.
In Three Times True, mixed media artist Jen Cushman combines jewelry making with mindful intention to help you create a beautiful, handcrafted bracelet that serves as a daily reminder of what matters most to you.
As you learn fundamental metalworking and jewelry techniques, you'll also create a one-of-a-kind piece infused with your own empowering words. Every time you wear it, you'll reconnect with the intention you chose while making it.
This course is perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike. Jen's relaxed teaching style makes every step approachable, and you'll be amazed at what you can create with a few simple tools and materials.
In this course you'll learn how to:
- Hand stamp a meaningful affirmation, mantra, or personal power statement into copper.
- Texture and patina metal for a beautiful vintage finish.
- Create a unique silver charm using Precious Metal Clay (PMC).
- Safely fire your PMC charm with a butane torch.
- Make custom bead links for the perfect bracelet fit.
- Form a handmade wire clasp that is both beautiful and functional.
- Design and assemble a stunning triple-wrap bracelet from start to finish.
- Develop confidence using basic metalworking tools and techniques.
- Create a simple five-minute grounding ritual to help start each day with intention.
- Transform your jewelry into a wearable reminder of the life you want to create.
As an added bonus, Jen includes a downloadable PDF filled with her favorite tools, materials, and trusted resources so you'll know exactly what you need to continue creating long after the course is over.
More than a jewelry class, Three Times True is an opportunity to slow down, create with purpose, and craft something you'll treasure for years to come.
Join Jen inside Create Arts Online and discover the joy of making a piece that's as meaningful as it is beautiful.
