COLD CONNECTIONS I
INSTRUCTOR: DELORES OSBORNE-HENSLEY
This class for beginners will cover basic skills of working with base metals (copper, brass, titanium, and nickel), cutting, sawing, filing, and learning to connect two or more pieces of metal without heat. We will cover basic riveting, telescoping riveting, tab settings, layering, stone setting with tabs, and more. We will have several projects planned that will encompass numerous aspects of cold connections that you can use for more projects at home. Students will also have plenty of time to develop skills and create their own designs. Class fee includes all metal, wire, copper washers, satin ribbon cords, leather cords and rivets needed to complete class projects, plus an accent stone, chains, and ear wires. In this class, students will produce creative jewelry pieces and learn the basics for a strong foundation to continue cold connections at home or pursue other lapidary arts. The school has basic tool kits for student use, and I will have tools for sale if you are interested.
