Estimated Materials Fee including Class Fee: $250 - $350

Prerequisites: To succeed in this class, you need to have practical experience in silver soldering. By this I mean, you should have a clear understanding of how silver soldering is done. You should be familiar with the terminology and basic techniques i.e. soldering a bezel, soldering a jumpring, and sweat soldering. You need to have some practical experience; you have made sterling silver jewelry outside of your silver 1 class or have taken multiple silver 1 classes. I fear you will find this Silver 2 class overwhelming if you do not have enough experience. If you do not meet this criterion, you may consider my silver 1 classes or Silver 1.5 Intensive classes. You will have a much more enjoyable time and receive the help and instruction that you need to ready you for a Silver 2 class.
