Join me in my home studio to explore and unlock the beauty of fused fine silver!

Here is the way we get it done - first we get rid of all of the chemicals, then we break out the butane torch and a simple set of tools and get to work. Discover amazing techniques to make all of the chains, findings, connections and centerpieces that you need as a metalsmith. These four days will be filled with demonstrations, followed by hands-on applications of these techniques.

On day one, we will make chains and work on honing your fusing skills. Day two we will create all of the findings that will give your creations that individual flair and start making amazing centerpiece pendants using your own cabochons. On day three, we will explore simple rivets, tube rivets and bails, and then on day four we will assemble all of these parts into magnificent creations. Join me for an experience that will open your world to a new and safe way to create beautiful jewelry.

4 days for 850.00.

All fine silver materials and tools are here for you to use. Just bring along your favorite cabochons!
