For Virgins and Not-So-Virgins...a workshop filled with the basics of soldering from what type of supplies to use (and why) to the tips and tricks of achieving a smooth and shiny finish. Discover how to solder 3-dimension objects, unusual shapes and materials, and a decorative dot demonstration. A special side-bar of glass-cutting by hand for those who want to know it all! In this class, we will make individual charms - each one being different from the other and including square charms, 3 dimensional charms, charms using beveled glass, found object charms, bubbles, double-bubbles, marbles and more. At the end of the day, we will attach the charms to a bracelet and wear our artwork proudly!
$20 supply fee includes faux bracelet (upgrade to sterling silver bracelet available during class)
Remember, this is a hands-on TECHNIQUE class. Our time will be spent learning the steps involved in soldering not only basic charm shapes, but dimensional pieces, bubbles, glass cutting, & attachments.
We will not be creating artwork to put behind the glass, so please come prepared with a variety of artwork (different sizes) for putting between the glass. Any images should be NON-glossy. Bring
dimensional objects if you desire (ie: buttons, ribbon, etc.) as you will learn the techniques for using those items as well.
SUPPLIES:
As for supplies, I will have soldering equipment that can happily be shared. However, if you have your own equipment, bring it. This includes:
- Soldering Iron
- Soldering Iron Stand
- Rheostat
- Solder
- Sal Amoniac Block
- Tips in different sizes
**I will have Flux, Flux Remover, and Sponges to share ... no need for you to travel with it unless you want to solder in your hotel room :) **
For this class, you MUST bring:
- Pliers (one Flat-Nose or Chain-Nose, one Bent-Nose, one Round-Nose)
- Wire-Cutters (small)
- Metal Cookie-Sheet (at least 8x10) * a cheapie is fine, I prefer a non- stick coating)
- Scissors
- Cutting Pad or Work Surface (something to protect the table)
- Hand-Towel
- Pencil or Pen
- Artwork (to put between the glass) in assorted sizes from 1"x1" up to 2"x3" (if you do not have pre-made artwork, we will just use plain paper since this is a soldering-technique class, not a project class). A few dimensional objects you would like to learn how to solder
*IMPORTANT - do not use glossy or satin finish images as they will distort under the glass*
CLOSED - CLASS FULL
