Cold Joints For Red Hot Mama's (and Papa's too) - Class Description
 

 
    

This necklace utilizes all of the joints covered in this class.
Click on any image to view an enlargement of the necklace.

 

This class will focus on using cold connections to join metals together and to embellish your metal components. We will make as many cold joints as time allows in this two day class. Here are the possibilities:

Wire rivets
Tube rivets
Tabs
Screws and bolts
Staples

The necklace above illustrates each one of these cold joints. You will also learn to saw, file, stamp, and drill - all important skills for red hot mamas. It is important to have at least basic wire skills before taking this class.

 

What to bring to class:

Sharpie/indelible pen
Selection of beads for a bracelet or necklace
Note book to take notes
Copy of Seller's permit if you want to avoid paying tax on beads and wire
3 feet 16 G dead soft, sterling silver round wire
Sheet Metal 20, 22, or 24 G (available for purchase in class)
Silver, Brass or Copper tubing for tube rivets (I will have available)

Please note: I recommend you pre-make jump rings for your project.

You will not need to bring tools and large containers to class. I am requesting that you not bring tool cases with you so the floor space is clear.
