With designer/instructor Mollie Valente This class in our soft-soldering series gives you the chance to create a vintage-style necklace while learning soft soldering skills! In class, you'll capture an image between glass and encase it in a soldered metal frame. In addition, you will learn simple finishing methods and create a filigree necklace with your pendant by the end of class. Find out about various soft-solder tools and supplies, plus benefit from Mollie's demonstrations of each step before you try your hand at them. Attendees should bring the following tools with them to class: flat-nose pliers, round-nose pliers and chain-nose pliers. | ||

All basic soldering tools and materials will be provided, though we do suggest you bring safety goggles. We also provide graphic materials for creating your pendant's image, but if you have a copy of a small pictorial memento you'd like encased in glass (up to 14mm circular), feel free to bring it! (Some images can be damaged by the heat of the soldering iron; we suggest bringing photocopies on cardstock instead of valuable family pictures — no thin paper or photo paper.)
Due to the intricate steps involved in the soldering process, students more than ten minutes late will not be admitted to class and tuition will be forfeited. |
