for people who have already learned how to drill, saw, and file,
and can make basic wire rivets and tube rivets. In “Cold
Connections and Colored Metal” you will learn to make the
following connectors to join and embellish your metal components:
stamped wire rivets, invisible telescoping tube rivets, split
tube rivets, tabs, and invisible wire rivets. You will also learn
how to color anodized aluminum for use in your cold connected

by the end of the weekend and a good start on your bracelet.
