This workshop is a great introduction to Mokume Gane, or wood grain metal, especially if you’re new to the technique.
Eric will demonstrate a low-tech method to firing a small sterling silver and copper billet using a soldering torch-no torque plates with this process! Students will learn to hot forge the material into ring stock and learn two ring patterning techniques-twisting and carving.
Prerequisites: Participants should be comfortable using a soldering torch and have experience with basic jewelry making hand tools.
