In this series of classes students will learn basic techniques including measuring, filing, sawing, piercing, soldering, bezel fabrication, bezel setting, and bezel setting, as well as some finishing techniques and use these skills to make 3 pieces of jewelry. Basic metal cutting, forming and shaping will produce dangly earrings; metal forming and an introduction to soldering will be covered when we make rings, and simple bezel setting in addition the previous skills will be used to make a pendant!
Only four seats are available this hands-on workshop, ensuring plenty of individual instruction.
