Electroforming Jewelry: Transform Natural Treasures into Copper Art

$275.00

Discover the Magical World of Copper Electroforming
Immerse yourself in a transformative 2-day workshop where science meets creativity. Learn how to use electrical current to meticulously deposit copper onto diverse objects, creating stunning, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.

Workshop Highlights
What You’ll Master:
• Electrochemical metal deposition techniques
• Conductive paint application methods
• Jewelry construction strategies
• Advanced finishing techniques including polishing and patinas
• Comprehensive electroforming process
• Stone protection and preparation methods

Technical Insights
Electroforming is a precise art involving electrochemical metal deposition. By suspending objects in a copper sulfate solution and applying direct current, metal ions transfer and bond to your chosen materials. You’ll learn to:
• Coat objects with conductive paint
• Seal delicate materials like crystals
• Manage electrical current (0.1 amps per square inch)
• Create layers of copper ranging from 8-12 hours of processing

What to Bring
Recommended Materials:
• Gemstones (Mohs hardness 5+)
• Organic elements (leaves, branches)
• Bones
• Glass pieces
• Resin objects
• Clay sculptures

Workshop Includes
• E3 Duo Electroforming machine
• Chemicals and copper wires
• Sealants and conductive paints
• Polishing tools
• Patina solutions

No Prior Experience Required!
Create wearable art that tells a unique story - transform natural treasures into extraordinary copper jewelry.

Please bring a few objects to electroform. This could include: gemstones or crystals (over a Mohs Hardness of 5), leaves, small branches, bones, glass, resin, or clay.
