Concho & Shot Plate Class 6/28

Design and make your own jewelry in 1 day utilizing concho and shot plate sets! Learn how to accurately measure metal for the best results with this tool/technique as well as how to properly anneal and press the metal. This class introduces basic metalsmithing techniques, such as sawing, soldering and stone setting. In 6 hours (10a-4p), you will work with sterling silver while strengthening your design and fabrication skills.
