This 3-hour, 2-day course will allow you to design and create a special, one-of-a-kind, Sterling Silver and/or copper piece of jewelry. The first day will be an introduction to the tools and soldering basics, design and strategy, and starting to fabricate. The second day students will complete fabrication, set stones (if there are any), and polishing. This is essentially an open studio, where you have access to the tools and instructor with the freedom to create your own, unique piece of jewelry. The course fee includes all materials. Mei-Ling Cheung has loved jewelry making with beads, fiber, clay, and paper since she was a small child. When she moved to Maine in 2007 she started a jewelry making business wire wrapping high quality gems and minerals. She dabbled in PMC (Precious Metal Clay) after taking a course at Haystack School of Crafts in 2014. In 2021 she taught herself how to silver solder and has been hooked ever since! Her classes focus on practical, hands-on skills and her style of teaching is fun and casual, yet structured and informative.
