HYDRAULIC PRESS 101
INSTRUCTOR: DEBORAH BAW
Are you interested in learning the skill of using the hydraulic press to make beautiful jewelry? Well, we have you covered. Safety while using the press is of utmost importance and will be covered before we begin using the press. The dies you will use will be pancake dies, impression dies, and silhouette dies as well as plates. All these are used to make stunning jewelry. We will make a pendant, earrings and a bracelet as well as a ring. We will use texture plates in the rolling mill to add awesome design to the metal before using the press.
William Holland provides tool kits to use while there but feel free to bring your own tools if you prefer. Bring some stones that you may want to set into your pieces and please remember to bring safety glasses or opti- visor. Be ready to enjoy your time working on the press.
