Description
Learn a variety of metal fabrication techniques to create textured art jewelry, including fold-forming metal, cutting, filing, stamping, piercing, doming and soldering. Unique patterns can be applied free hand or from texture mats by etching the metal. Broom-casting silver, drilling river stones, and setting tube and wire rivets are other techniques you can try. Professional finishing using motorized hand tools will be emphasized. Lots of options, lots of fun!
