Event Series Soldering Bootcamp

Soldering Bootcamp

On the road to becoming goldsmiths ourselves and since opening our own jewellery school, we have learned a few things on the way. One of them being – soldering is a tricky process for beginners to nail down and it takes tons of practice.  For those who desperately need to learn to solder – WELCOME SOLDERING BOOTCAMP!  This is a two-day, all-day, weekend workshop that focuses on repetitive soldering. At the end of the weekend, you will have learned how to create a hand-made sterling silver bracelet.

Solitaires and Stacks with Stones

Spend a day in the workshop learning to create 3 unique sterling silver stacking rings,  2 with gemstones and one plain (textured or polished)! Each ring will be made from a different shape of wire: square, twisted, or half-round. Using bezel and basket/prong setting techniques, students will learn to set a 3 mm gemstone into each ring. Since the stone setting is best practiced on synthetic and lab-created gems, participants can choose from cubic zirconia and synthetic sapphire, ruby, or emerald. These one-of-a-kind rings can be worn as solitaires or stacks. Customize them all for yourself or create them as gifts for your loved ones!
