SILVER 1.5: MIXED METAL COMPONENTS WITH STERLING SILVER
INSTRUCTOR: DEBORA MAUSER
In this class we will be using techniques to combine copper and sterling silver. We will learn the soldering temperature of the two to achieve a good solder joint and tricks to keep your piece clean from solder running from one metal to another. Additionally, we will cover riveting and other cold connection options. Students may choose to work in both metals or strictly silver. We will use bronze casting grains to highlight your designs. We will use the hydraulic press, shot plates and stamps during this class.
*All metals used in this class will be purchased from the instructor at market value at the time of class.
Class Fee: $150.00
Materials Fee: $150- $350
Prerequisite: At least one silver 1 class or working knowledge of using a torch and silver solder to create jewelry.
