This workshop is like Soldering Bootcamp! It's perfect for jewelry artists and metalsmiths looking to improve their soldering skills.
Working in sterling silver, students will have the opportunity to explore design elements such as mixed metals, gemstone beads, decorative chains and more. Each student will complete multiple pairs of earrings while exploring earring specific techniques such as soldering posts, creating ear wires and/or even trendy “ear pins” and cuffs.
In addition to sharpening their soldering skills, students will also gain knowledge on basic jewelry making techniques such as sawing, filing, and finishing. This class is designed for students that have some metalsmithing experience, but are still at the beginning stages of learning, or for those looking for a fun soldering refresher!Q&A
