Soldering is a fun technique to capture family photos, favorite
ephemera, and collages into small trinkets that can be used as
jewelry, charms, or ornaments.   You will will learn step by step
techniques to use various images including collage sheets, small
photos, and ephemera to create unique pieces of jewelry and holiday
ornaments.     You will also have time to create your own designs
using stamps, colored pencils, and Copic markers.

Students will learn how to prepare images, assemble the glass pieces
using copper tape, solder using flux lead-free silver toned solder,
and embellish the glass frames with wire and other elements.  Students
can expect to make 4-5 pendants or charms during the class time. This
class fee includes images, glass, copper tape, lead-free silver toned
solder, flux and jump rings. The students will each have their own
flux, copper tape and solder to bring home with them.  The fee also
includes in-class use of all necessary tools, polishing sheets, and
equipment.
