In this 90-minute seminar, participants will view 3 different home studio torch set-ups. Nanz will share research into setting-up torches for jewelry making in your own home. Demos of the different torch types will disclose which is a must have for a wide range of use. We will cover which torches have longer lasting or hotter fuels and which fuels burn the cleanest.
