Learn How to Solder in an Evening
This new batch of students was top-rate! They worked hard and created some AMAZING pieces!


Veronica's earrings were made by cutting rectangular shapes from sterling silver sheet and texturing them with a ball peen hammer. She then soldered on the decorative wire and earwires, textured the wire, oxidized and buffed the earrings, and formed the earwires. Great work!



Tony's project was a bracelet tag for his wife Nancy (a cursive "N" in wire!) which he soldered, textured and oxidized. He'll add some beads for a custom gift!


Loretta's gorgeous chain was an ambitious project- she did all the soldering in one class! She will be completing the project by hammering the links and buffing them with sandpaper. She even made the S-clasp!
Way to go solderers!
