Soldering Demystified Bootcamp

Don’t worry, I won’t have you jumping hurdles with a torch. What we will do is concentrate all week on improving your soldering skills and proficiency. Give me a week and I will give you vastly improved skills and (perhaps most importantly) confidence with the torch.

*Tools and materials are not included in price of workshop.

Tools and materials:
As for any of our workshops, any tools or supplies you might need can be purchased at the studio.

You should bring your basic hand tools:

• Scissors
• chain and round nose pliers
• files
• sandpaper
• tweezers
• dividers
• soldering blocks
• ruler
• Sharpie marker
• silver solders etc
  

Specific tools you have to buy at the studio if you don’t already have them:

• Clean Solderite board 14.00
• Magnesia block 12.00
• Stone tweezers for soldering 9.00
  

You will want to practice some of the demonstrated techniques on the spot, so you can bring:

• fine or sterling wire
• round or half round (any shape, really) to practice soldering ring shanks, bangles, and jump rings
• fine or sterling silver sheet to practice soldering bezels down, etc.
• If you are currently working on any projects, bring them also. We can troubleshoot any problems you might be having.
