Discover the fascinating world of soft solder for jewelry design. In this workshop, we’ll explore using ordinary hardware solder and rubber stamps to create truly unique textural designs on copper. You’ll also learn several bail options, how to set a sparkly crystal using a snap setting, and even how to make this easy and versatile chain. There will be plenty of time to experiment and you should be able to fabricate several pieces. A kit fee of $35 will be collected during the workshop and includes all materials and supplies.
