Jewelry 110: Silver Bands (Jewelry Clearance)

In this 6-hour workshop students will learn how to reduce a sterling silver wire ingot into workable stock with the rolling mill. We will form the stock and solder it into a ring. Students will learn pre-polish and polishing techniques with the flex-shaft and polishing machine to achieve a high-polish finish. No experience necessary. All students should be able to use the studio and tools with ease after taking this introductory jewelry class. This class includes a one-hour lunch break.
