Session Three: June 16-28
Sarah Holden
Steel for Jewelers: From Mild to Wild
Students in this workshop will explore steel at the scale of jewelry. Our first focus will be fabrication as we discuss the differences between soldering, brazing, and welding and experiment with all of them. Students will then be able to create sheets of patterned steel with wire and/or make jewelry and/or small objects from steel sheet. We will cover pattern development and material behavior and discuss creative linkages, surface design, preservation techniques, and incorporating steel into jewelry designs.
All levels. Lower metals studio.
