SILVER II: FUSING STERLING SILVER
INSTRUCTOR: BEVERLY FOX
This is a very special technique to learn! You will make texture plates that are like no others. Learn different wire bending techniques with rectangle wire. These wires are then fused onto a sheet of sterling silver with heat and a bit of flux, then rolled a bit to even out the texture. I will demonstrate a few ways to make jewelry from your new texture plates, such as earrings, pendant, bangle bracelet, and a closed box bead. You will learn to use the Smith Little Torch if you haven’t yet. The class fee covers the use of a comprehensive tool kit I put together, an 8-page handout that all my students receive and a step-by-step page for each project. The materials fee is a base fee. I will have silver, cabochons and accent stones for sale.
Class Fee: $150
Est Materials Fee: $100
Prerequisite: Soldering (for making your jewelry), Stone setting if you want to use stones.
