    This course opened my eyes to the world of jewelry making and make me want to set up a bench at home. Particularly valuable were the list of connections in the Diamond District.

    These have been the best summer Saturdays I have spent in a very long time. Carolina is instantly lovable, with so much knowledge that she freely, enthusiastically gives to us. Not just about making jewelry, but the art of alchemy and the history and chemistry that threads its way through the craft. I love this class so much, and I plan to continue my relationship with her if I’m able.

    Anonymous review on 2/14/2023
    Carolina is a fantastic instructor. No matter what direction you want to take jewelry making, hobbyist-professional, Carolina will be able to help you along your journey. It is important to know what you get out of this is what you put in. Metalsmithing is thousands of years of knowledge and won’t be compressed into a short amount of time. The first set of classes you will begin to work on basic fundamentals while working on your first pieces. This will require you to interact with businesses up on 47th street, while at times this can be frustrating, the finished jewelry will be worth the time put in. Carolina is very passionate about the art form, and you will learn a tremendous amount in the class. She is very easy to reach if you have questions.

Discover the Best Jewelry Soldering Classes in NYC

Jewelry soldering is a technique used to create and repair metal jewelry. A metal alloy called solder is melted and used to create a bond between two pieces of metal. The solder is melted with a soldering iron or torch, and a substance called flux is used to help it stick to the jewelry. Solderers use specialized equipment and need to have a steady hand. Expert solderers are often able to create a bond that is seamless and invisible to the naked eye.

Why You Should Learn Jewelry Soldering in NYC

Learning jewelry soldering means that you will be able to fix or modify your own jewelry. You’ll be able to make your favorite items last longer, and when something breaks you won’t have to pay a professional to repair it. If you get good enough at soldering, you might even be able to make some money repairing or modifying other people’s jewelry.

Soldering can also be personally rewarding. If you know how to solder, you’ll have the freedom to make unique and intricate pieces of jewelry that you couldn’t make any other way. Many people who solder jewelry say that they get a lot of satisfaction out of the creative expression involved, and also feel a sense of achievement by creating unique pieces that reflect their own personal style.
