Nothing Basic About Jewelry Basics!

$599.00

Let's get comfortable using the jeweler's saw and soldering, studio safety, different tools, textures, metal types, metal gauges, and creating simple bezel set pieces. You will leave with more confidence in foundational skills and a good starting point for further learning! At the end of the week, we will calculate the cost of your silver and stones based on the jewelry projects you have made.

Here are the basic skills we will cover:

  • Sawing and proper techniques
  • Filing and sanding
  • Basic soldering: types of solder, types of flux, and heat control
  • Studio safety
  • Different metal types and gauges
  • Textures using hammers
  • Making a bezel-set ring and pendant with a cabochon
  • Different tools for setting the stone
  • Polishing and finishing

Materials: You will pay for the silver and stones you use at the end of the week. Class time includes the use of tools and equipment related to the techniques, including a bench and flex shaft. You don't need to bring anything with you.
