The Hammer and Anvil May jewelry making box is going to be so exciting! It's our first tutorial workshop box and we couldn't be more thrilled to bring this unique jewelry making learning experience right to your doorstep. We firmly believe in project based learning model to help you see how the jewelry skills apply to getting through the process from start to finish. It is a FULL jewelry class taught to you through online streaming video and the opportunity to LIVE chat with your instructor several times during the 4 weeks the workshop instruction is open. You will have the video fully accessible at release date with all the jewelry making materials, supplies and tools included at your door. We will have detailed step by step video jewelry instruction as well as the chance to chat with your jewelry instructor during live streams using ZOOM meetings. We will be able to share our progress, ask questions and trouble shoot any challenges you are having. The class size is very limited so that we can be available for your questions and support where needed.
We are going to make a delightful bezel set hand-cut turquoise sterling silver silver ring together using 3 featured tools. The gorgeous turquoise is cut by lapidary artist Hugh Hadley. We will use a head and shank tweezer to align the bezel properly with the comfort band. You will be shown two methods of attachment to the bezel for you to make. The second tool we will use is Hone & Highlight finishing media from Rosy Revolver for the finishing process. This finishing media is divine and creates such a beautiful matte and highlighted finish. You will need access to a rotary tumbler or have one. The final tool we will highlight is the steel punch for setting. We will cover the process of using a hammer and punch for setting the stone as well as the bezel roller, bezel pusher and curved burnisher (which you need to have as part of your basic studio tools.) We are excited to have you join us on this venture in learning! PROJECTED RELEASE DATE FOR TUROTIAL IS MAY 15th-MAY 20th. Boxes would arrive week before. (Finishing up the video now and will have teasers soon!)
Basic metalsmithing and jewelry skills are needed. Previous soldering, sawing, filling, forming, and finishing is helpful. If you have set stones before using a burnisher and/or pusher, you will still learn new skills. If you haven't, you will learn a ton!There are some basic metalsmithing and jewelry making tools that need to be in your studio to be able to accomplish the project and future projects. Studio tools needed (not limited to just these but an example of a basic set up.) If you don't have all of these, contact me and we can decide what is absolutely essential or alternatives for success. There are great cost effective solutions when the tool is not in the cards at the moment.
