In this class we will be learning the molten stamped solder technique to create our front and back book covers. You will be able to create two book pendants in this class. These are fun to create! They can be as fancy or simple as you want. After we make and stamp solder our pieces, we will patina them before creating the artwork inside the bezels. We will then pour up our bezels with resin. I will provide the resin pages for inside your books, but I will also show you how to make these pages with resin.
This workshop is a great class for the beginner solder student.
