Learn layering and patterning techniques in this intermediate-level jewelry class. The course will focus on three processes:

• Mokume gane, a Japanese technique for layering and patterning
• Marriage-of-metals, which involves soldering a patchwork of metals together to create a sheet
• Applique, a process in which metal of one color is soldered on top of metal of a different color and then rolled level

The class projects involve making samples, which you can later incorporate in pieces of  jewelry. This class will also help you further develop your soldering skills. 

A $20 materials fee is payable to the instructor at the first class. Students also need to bring one piece of 22-gauge sterling sheet that is approximately 2 inches by 4 inches. Students can order more sterling silver for the following sessions. Purchase of sterling silver is extra.
