Class Description
In the first part of this soldering intensive we'll discuss the most common problem encountered in silver soldering, define the stages of soldering, and introduce some tips and tricks to help you overcome challenging projects. In the second part of the workshop we'll put this knowledge into practice and then we will practice, practice, practice. 

All skill levels are welcome. If you've been soldering for a while, come practice with us in a fun community environment and improve your skills. If you're uncomfortable or even scared of the torch, you must come to this class. Really, you must come to this class.

Please don't bring unfinished projects. Due to the time constraints on the class won't have time to address individual project pieces. But, as always, finished work for show
and tell is welcome.

About the Instructor
Jamie Mclandsborough has been working in the jewelry field for 20 years, since he was first introduced to soldering by a wonderful high school art teacher. Jamie has apprenticed, taken courses through GIA, tested with the Jewelers of America and studied extensively but still believes there is no better way to learn than a little bit of knowledge and a whole lot of experimentation. Jamie currently works as a bench jeweler at Gusterman’s Silversmiths in Downtown Denver, serves on the Board of CoMA, and takes classes anywhere he can, most recently right here in the BoMA studio.
