Vintaj Soldering Class

This workshop is designed to give students a very accessible
introduction to soldering as done in jewelry-making. What makes this
soldering workshop different from others? It's kept simple, safe and
non-toxic. Using a butane torch, students will learn essential soldering
techniques for soldering any metal. The class project will be soldering
Vintaj brass. The skills are transferrable to other metals as well,
including sterling silver, fine silver, gold-filled, karat gold, and
copper. Topics covered include fire safety, annealing, work hardening,
and oxidizing.

This class is $110 and runs from 12-6 pm.
 Students must register in advanced online, in person, or on the phone
at (510) 337-1203.  Students receive a 10% in store discount for 4 weeks
prior to 2 weeks after their class.  

Materials needed for this
class include 3 Clover petal filigrees and 2 Diamond Trellis filigrees.
 Students can bring these items with them or purchase them in the store
on the day of the class.
