Beginner-Intermediate Jewelry Fabrication and is taught by Emma Macchiarini.

This is generally a beginning fabrication class. You do not need to have any prior experience with metalworking, or art to take this class. However, if you do have some experience, this class can be helpful anyway. I tend to work to the level of the participants. Since classes are fairly small, this is very manageable.

In this class you will create:

• One pendant or a pin created with a sweat-soldering technique using copper and brass.

• One sterling silver ring

• One stone setting project, or setting the stone in the silver ring

• Additional personal project if time allows.

In creating these projects you will learn:

• Plate metal rolling, three-dimensional metal forming techniques

• Soldering

• Use of the jewelers saw, and metal files

• General orientation of the use of the flex shaft, bits and burrs

• Finish work such as machine polishing, use of the metal pickle and sonic cleaner.

• basic bezel stone setting techniques

This is an 7 week session. The class meets on Saturday for 3 hours from 1-4pm.
