SILVER II: ARGENTIUM
INSTRUCTOR: VICKIE PRILLAMAN
This class is for students that have worked with Argentium silver. We will be working with the 935 and 940 formulas. We will observe the difference between the two formulas. The new 940 formula is not as sensitive to slumping and works more like sterling silver. You will use wire and sheet to make two pendants with stone settings. I will have several samples of different projects that you may choose from to make after your first two projects. You will learn how to fuse and how to solder Argentium silver and the characteristics of Argentium silver. Depending on your skill level, I will have more complicated projects for those that are ready to advance. For example: Hollow beads, hollow form pendant with a shadow box setting. The class fee for this class covers the handouts, consumables, and many of the essentials that are different and required for working with Argentium silver and the first 2 projects. Please be aware that Argentium silver costs slightly more than sterling silver. If you have any questions, please call Vickie at 770-265-7879.
