In just one-day learn to create your own unique sterling silver pendant. This class is perfect for beginners since very few tools are required.
Students will take a design and cut out or "pierce" the metal to showcase their pattern and finish it up with a texutured or polished surface. Specific skills include: sawing, filing, polishing, and texturing. If time permits, students will also learn to solder on a simple bail. Expect to leave with not only a finished piece of jewelry, but the skills needed to keep on working at home!
