Intermediate | TBD Materials and Studio Fees* 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. *Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor. Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided. Final cost of these fees will be posted at least two weeks ahead of the workshop to be paid in full prior to check-in.
