In this 3 week beginning silversmith class you will learn the skills of sawing, filing, sanding, soldering, texturing, stamping, forming, polishing and patina.
In the first week you will make a sweat soldered “charm” out of copper to practice your skills and become familiar with the metal, tools and techniques.
The second and third weeks will be spent creating the “spinner’ ring”. This is a inch wide silver band with rings on the inside that move. They are held in place by flanging both the top and bottom. There are many variations of this ring so use your creativity to design your own. These projects have been developed to give you the skills to go onto create more intricate projects with confidence.
