Intro to Soldering Workshop

$235.00

MAY 16-17 Saturday and Sunday, 9am - 3pm

Let’s learn to make soldered jewelry! Over the course of two six-hour days (with lunch breaks!), we will work through introductory information and safety, two jewelry projects, and end with some open time for follow-up, finishing, and free-design. We learn to use a torch for soldering, but so much more: ring sizing, stone setting, texturing, finishing, oxidizing, sawing and other techniques will be covered.

The “kit” cost will be an estimate and may change depending on choices you make during the workshop. The pictures are a close representation to what we will make, but the final product is subject to change.

CURRICULUM:

  • Intro to Soldering: Basics of tools, mechanics & safety

  • Basic Ring-Making/Stack Rings

  • Textured Cut-Out Pendant with Stone

  • Open Studio time

Level: Beginner Torchwork
Tools: Included
Materials: Not included,
Kit details TBA, available for purchase at class, read more below

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MATERIALS:

If a class has a materials kit associated with it, it is usually paid for and provided at the time of the class. Unless I hear otherwise, I assume you will be getting your materials from me. SILVER PRICES ARE VOLATILE. I can’t predict the cost of kits as far in advance as I used to, but I will email students the expected cost as soon as I have it calculated.
Getting the kit from me is not required, and if you’d prefer to bring your own supplies, you MUST notify me within a week of the class (or sooner) so I can get you the materials list and answer any questions you might have. It also helps me prepare the correct number of kits ahead of the class.
