FLAME PAINTING ON TITANIUM
INSTRUCTOR: HEIDI MANDICH
Discover the fun of creating beautiful, colorful jewelry “painting” with a torch. During the week, we will learn safe studio practices as we explore the colorful world of flame painting titanium. We will learn the basics of creating colors, as well as adding textures and surface designs, forming and shaping. Next, we will add Argentium sterling silver, learning to fuse it and to use it as a layer of embellishment. Since titanium cannot be soldered, we will explore cold connections such as riveting and tab setting. The week will begin with an overview, basics and sample projects. The balance of the week will be an opportunity to create your own work under the guidance of your instructor. Class Fee includes Printed materials for techniques and step by step detailed instructions for projects, along with consumables (fuel, solder, flux, torches, drill bits, saw blades, solder brick, sandpaper, use of tools, equipment, specialty tools provided by the instructor) and materials for the first days’ projects. Please wear closed toed shoes and have eye protection – glasses or readers are fine or safety glasses. If you have long hair, please have a way to tie it back.
