In this class we will be learning the molten stamped solder technique to create our front cover plate for our journals. These are fun to create! After we make and stamp solder our journal cover, we will patina it before we create the artwork for inside the bezel. We will rivet the cover plate to our journals before we pour resin inside of the bezel.
This workshop is a great class for the beginner solder student.
Materials Fee $50 paid at beginning of class includes:
Book journal, copper metal, resin, bezel wire, filigrees, rivets, papers, book pages, images, vintage papers, words, glass glitter, patina. Rubber stamps to use. (I will have glues and Mod Podge to use).
