Learn how to create colorful effects on metals such as brass, copper, and silver.  Greens, reds, blues, and speckled yellows are just some of the colors created by using different chemicals and techniques on metal.  Demonstrations will be given on "cold connections" (connecting metals without the use of heat), which includes rivets, tabs, and jump rings. You can make a colorful piece of jewelry or sculptural collage.  Both beginners and advanced students are welcome.
