About The Class

Workshop Title: Cold Connections for Steel
This workshop will introduce the use of steel in jewelry/sculpture, specifically laser-cut steel. Steel is lightweight, strong, and versatile, and multiples are easily produced via laser- cutting. A short zoom session prior to the workshop will prepare you to submit original designs for laser-cutting. The in-person workshop will focus on finishing techniques including soldering, cold connections, surfaces, and future design options. Requires previous metalworking experience.
A list of supplies you will need to bring to this workshop will be posted shortly.
