▪ Soldered Wire Cuff Workshop ▪
The best way you will learn to be proficient at soldering is to practice! This beautiful cuff-style bracelet presents lots of opportunities to hone those torch skills. Simple in design, it challenges your soldering and finishing techniques and takes them to the next level.
Learn more about flame and heat control and gain a better understanding of soldering and how to use it to your best advantage. Add a choice of embellishments appropriate to your skill level. Come spend a day creating a piece of art to wear while gaining more confidence at the torch.
Skill Level
Students must be comfortable with a torch. Basic soldering and fabrication skills is a must!
Tools
Important: There is no need for you to go out and purchase any tools. All tools necessary for completing the project will be available at the workshop. However, some training venues have a smaller tool inventory than others, which may mean sharing.
For that reason, I recommend you bring your own small hand tools (i.e. pliers, cutters, favorite hammer, metal shears, etc.) if you have them. (Note: I usually have quality tools available for purchase at the workshop.) Contact me if you have any questions.
The following is a list of tools that we'll be using during the workshop.
- Round nose pliers
- Flat nose pliers
- Chain nose pliers
- Flush or semi-flush cutters that will cut up to 12 gauge wire
- Ball peen or chasing hammer
- Mandrels of different sizes (knitting needles and round writing pens work well for this)
- Needle files
- 6 inch ruler
- Soft tape measure
- Steel bench block
- Sharpie® or other indelible pen
- Hand towel
- Polishing cloth
Fees
Each training venue sets its own workshop fees. You'll find contact information for each venue on my Class Schedule page.
In addition to the workshop fee, a separate materials fee will be paid at the workshop to cover all materials needed to complete the project. The materials fee includes a full-color step-by-step written tutorial.
