Materials & Tools
The materials kit for this class is estimated at $100. It is payable when signing up and will be based on the current silver market at the time supplies are ordered. Due to the volatility of the metals market, if the cost of supplies changes, the small difference in price will be either reimbursed or collected at the class. The kit includes the metal and supplies you will need for the workshop, including sterling silver sheet and wire in various gauges, copper, brass, solder, a cabochon stone, and bezel wire to set that stone.
Students should bring:
- Small hand towel
- Tool box (shoe box, plastic tackle box etc.)
- Old tooth brush (for cleaning)
- Ruler
- Ultra Fine point Sharpie permanent marker
