Class Description
This is an excellent class if you have taken jewelry courses in the past and would like to further improve your skills. In this class we will practice piercing and overlay techniques as well as forming and finishing techniques to create a pair of matched earrings or a pendant. We will also cover design and project planning, saw tips and tricks, soldering techniques, texturing and finishing techniques. Students will learn best uses for tools including shears, drill press, flex shaft, rolling mill, dapping punches, leather sand bag, holding devices, pitch, resin, dop wax, and gravers.

Bring pictures, ideas, or drawings of a pendant and earrings for design inspiration.  Students should also bring process problems and questions to this class. We will talk about creative work arounds and time saving techniques that will improve your overall production.
