A81 Wellness: Keep Cool, an Intro to Cold Connections

Level A – All levels welcome.

You will learn the benefits of staying cool in the face of jewelry-making and explore various introductory techniques and applications of the cold-connection, riveting, in your jewelry. Whether you are working with materials that cannot endure heat, expressing aesthetic preference, or making a necessary functional decision, rivets can serve many purposes. We will learn the basics of standard, flush, and raised-head rivets, and then apply them to complete (at least) one finished piece (pin or pendant, most likely). There is a materials fee of $35-$80 due to the instructor on the first day of class.
