Soldering, endless incredible opportunities to capture your ephemeral, your sweetest smallest collage and honor it between bevels of glass. Together step by step we will demystify every aspect of soldering. Safety, the care and feeding of a soldering iron, what soldering materials to use and when. All aspects of the soldering process will be covered in depth. With a real understanding of the chemistry and nuances of these tools and materials you will be able to create charms, three dimensional objects of desire and take the mystery and misery out of all your soldering concerns. This is a technique driven class. For the sheer joy of learning we will solder two 1 ½" X 3" bevels of glass and fashion it into a fan pull.
Kit fee of $15.00 payable to instructor at class time includes: enough lead free solder, two 1 ½” X 3” glass bevels, flux brush, jump rings and copper foil to complete your project. .Supplies provided by Instructor: Flux, flux remover, salamoniac, patina, glass cleaner, polish, polishing cloth, sponges and 12’ X 12’ work board for each student to use in class.
