Class Description
This workshop with Lexi Erickson, who Lapidary Journal calls the Queen of Soldering, will teach you precision soldering using Lexi’s own technique. You will leave with much knowledge of how to do precision soldering, plus learn several soldering techniques, and save yourself hours in clean up and finishing. Several chains will be shown and discussed, and you will leave class with one finished chain or several short chains which you can finish at home.
Prerequisites
Some soldering experience is required, but it’s also a great class for beginning jewelers.
Students need to bring
Saw blades
Silver solder
Forming pliers (optional)
Bring your favorite tools, specialty tools or the ones you're most comfortable using (optional - if you do bring your own tools, please be sure they're labeled)
Materials Kit* $50(provided by instructor)
TBD
*Materials kit purchase is required for all our workshops. The kit insures all students have the same tools and materials required to learn the technique and allows the instructor and the students to focus on the technique rather than the materials.
About the Instructor
While studying for an advanced degree in archaeology, Lexi wanted to learn about bronze, and how the Age of Bronze emerged from the Stone Age so she took a university level jewelry course to learn about bronze. The rest is history. Lexi earned a Masters Degree in Jewelry Design and Fabrication.
Now that she's “retired” from teaching college archaeology and anthropology, Lexi has turned to teaching jewelery-making and world travel. As a Contributing Editor of Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist, Lexi writes numerous articles on techniques and tools. She writes frequently for Jewelry Making Daily creating six DVDs for Interweave Press, and written the book How to Solder Jewelry. The award-winning jewelry artist and five-time cover artist for Lapidary Journal has taught workshops all over the world, and teaches one-on-one private lessons in her Denver studio.
BoMA is pleased to present a series of classes and workshop with Lexi Erikson in 2016.
