CLASS DESCRIPTION
Make your jewelry fly, spin or wave! Students will learn how to use tube and wire riveting to connect pieces together without soldering as well as how to use rivets to create moveable parts in their pieces.
PREREQUISITES
Students should have previous experience with the jewelers saw.
TOOLS & EQUIPMENT (what you'll want to bring)
Choice of silver, copper, brass or combination. 26- 18ga. This will depend quite a bit on your design. I recommend coming to class with a couple of simple design ideas to get you started!
MATERIALS KIT (what the instructor will provide) $10
A variety of sizes of wire and tubing in different metals
Sheet will be available for purchase
*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.

Cancellation Policy
- You may cancel up to 30 days prior to the start of the class and receive a full refund, less $25 processing. To cancel, send an email to info@bouldermetalsmiths.com.
- Cancellations less than 30 days prior to the start date will not be refunded.
- In the event we have to cancel a class, you will be notified prior to the start date and will be issued a full refund.
- Registration is not transferrable. You may not sell your seat to another student.
- If a class has multiple sessions, and you miss one, there is no make up opportunity and the instructor will not catch you up at the next class session. You may not join the next scheduled class, as there’s a maximum number of students for every class and it’s not fair to the other students.
- Please plan extra time to find us if you’re coming to BoMA for the first time. If you are late to a class, the instructor will not catch you up. There’s a structured curriculum for every class and its not fair to other students to skip part of the curriculum to catch up a student who’s late.
- Snow. Colorado has frequent snowstorms in the winter and does a good job maintaining their roads in the snow. Snowy weather is a regular occurrence in our area and most people are accustomed to traveling under such conditions. Classes will be cancelled only in the case of inclement weather conditions that would make class attendance unsafe. If the National Weather Services issues a Winter Storm Warning for the time period of the class, we will cancel the class. https://www.weather.gov/bou/winterguide

- No Exceptions.
