We've added new sections to both Metalsmithing and Wax Carving!
2008 at Precious Metal Arts saw more classes and more amazing students than ever before. So we've added a new section to each of our most popular basic techniques:
- Metals D: Chain making, piercing, and stamping
- Wax Carving D: The gypsy ring for a faceted stone
In our newest section of metalsmithing, students will make a handmade chain, a handmade clasp, and pierced and stamped charms. You will leave with a complete charm bracelet!
Starting with a pre-made D-Blank, students will learn the techniques for creating a gypsy style ring for a faceted stone.
Plus we've added these inspiring new workshops:
- Cold Connections: How to connect metal without soldering
- Soldering Workshop: Tips and tricks
- Cuffs and Textures
You may hate to solder, or you can't have a torch in your apartment, or you found something fabulous to make jewelry out of that can't take the heat. Whatever the motivation, learning to connect metal without solder can open up a whole world of possibilities.
Everything you ever needed to know about soldering - and more!
Learn simple techniques for dramatic cuff bracelets and textures that make surfaces come to life.
And don't forget...
if you don't see what you want to learn on our schedule, you can always pursue any of your heart's desires through group or private tutoring.
