Silversmithing Skill Session: Reticulation and Fusing

Learn to add unique textures to metal! In this class, we’ll cover fusing recycled silver scrap, reticulating silver across a copper surface, patinas, and pinback fabrication. We’ll be using soldering, sawing, and polishing, so this is also a chance to apply the skills you’ve already learned. By the end of the course, you can expect to have finished one brooch and one reticulated jewelry item of your own design.

This class is geared towards students who have completed a Jewelry Metalsmithing Fundamentals class, or who already have basic knowledge of silversmithing/jewelry making. Bring any scrap silver you have!
