What you'll learn in this jewelry class:

Soldering (Silver or Gold soldering) is a very important technique in jewelry making. Not to be confused with soft or lead soldering.

Soldering is used to fabricate pieces (and fabrication simply means creating jewelry from metal using wire, sheet or other elements), putting on jump rings (which is a good way to attach into a chain), attaching earring backs, stone settings, and finding or hardware that you might need on jewelry—a lot of them are going to be attached using this technique of soldering.

Required materials:

-Easy, medium and hard sheet solder

It was an intro however it would have been nice to create something we could actually wear or use. Scott was a very warm and friendly instructor. We had a great time.
