Make cool jewelry in the heat of July... The new Beginner Silver- smithing class will include the instructions for two beautiful pieces of jewelry.You will learn to make a pendant and a stone-set ring during the 4 week class.
The class fee is $ 190 per person and includes all the materials
and use of tools.
The first project helps you master the use of the jeweler’s saw, filing and polishing. We are going to cut a pendant out of sheet silver using the jewelers saw and then file, sand and form it on a dapping block to create a three dimensional shape. The second project takes you further in silversmithing as you learn how to design a ring.This requires you to learn how to measure your ring shank, design a bezel for the stone, how to properly solder the ring shank and setting of the stone together and set the stone in the bezel. This will teach you important techniques in soldering and further your sawing and filing skills. You don't need to know anything about silversmithing to attend the beginner class. After finishing the beginner class there are further levels of silversmithing you might want to explore. Silver of Oz will be with you every step of the way.
