This class is an exploration of the avenues that you can take your silversmithing skills down. We will cover advanced bezel settings (stones with points and corners, and using heavier gauge bezel wire), prong settings, making chain and clasps, and layering metals. Students will be encouraged to create their designs, and will be guided through planning the steps to execute them, with the goal of working more independently. This will include talking about how to order materials and which materials are most appropriate for your projects.
Attendees are required to sign a waiver of liability at least once before registering for an open studio.
