In this workshop you will learn several valuable soldering techniques to help you create smoothly soldered pieces without all the grief. We will be soldering a frozen charlotte porcelain doll to a fancy metal piece background which we will also have soldered to match. Then we will attach soldered bubble charms that convey a message about our doll. Joining these charms to our necklace with wire wrapping is another technique students can expect to learn. We will also add ‘bling’….the irresistible!!!…by cutting up vintage rhinestone bracelets and necklaces, giving them new life as accessories for our frozen Charlotte. Finally, we will adhere a message or photo to the chandelier dangle at the bottom of our necklace. An easy and lovely hammered silver clasp will finish off the piece. Students should take home a finished necklace!
