INSTRUCTOR: DEBRA MAUSER
Are you ready to add unique textures to your silver work? We will use recognizable products in usual ways to create textures on back plates to start our journey. In this fast paced class students will learn to twist, knot, braid and forge 4 unique forms to make cuffs, rings and earrings. Additionally, we will incorporate reticulation and use hydraulic press to create one of a kind pieces using various impression dies. Students will create their own designs once techniques are learned to widen their skill level. To be successful in this class, students should be proficient in soldering. Stones and silver will be purchased from the instructor. Lab fee includes consumables, solder, handouts and the silver wire for the first project.
