Soldering has a few basic rules, but you need to know them well. After that, it's all heat control. I will be providing you with a few different types of solder to play with along with a few different samples to produce, to help you practice this very important skill. A handout will be provided for your future reference. I will also be staying for the evening if you would also like to stay for the drop-in session.

Getting to know your saw frame and how to use it, is fundamental to jewellery fabrication. Getting comfortable with your saw frame can open up many new design opportunities for your work. This class is great for beginners just starting out and developing their skills as well as those needing to practice or brush up on this important skill. I will be Stewarding this evening as well so feel free to stay for the evening 😁
