The Solder Workshop is back!


Our popular soldering workshop with visiting artist Bridget Beck is returning for a third run of classes this Mother's Day weekend. Electric soldering is an inexpensive and less dangerous option to soldering with a torch. Use this technique to solder jump rings or chain links closed, attach charms, and make secure connections of all types.

This two hour workshop will teach you all the basics of making small soldered connections, from applying the heat to finishing the solder joint to a polish. All students will finish class with a metal and glass bracelet they will assemble in the workshop. $75.00 (includes materials) Four Sessions:

Sun, May 13th, 10-12pm, 4-6pm

Mon, May 14th, 10-12pm, 4-6pm

Riveted Cuff Bracelet


Bridget Beck is also teaching a new mixed technique class for those who have already taken the basic solder workshop or just have the urge to rivet. Learn how to make an amazing copper cuff using Bridget's beautiful glass beads and unique riveting technique!  All students will finish class with a metal and glass bracelet they will assemble in the workshop. $60.00 (includes materials)

Two Sessions:

Sun, May 13th:1-3 pm

Mon, May 14th: 1-3 pm
