This silversmithing class is a good second class after learning to make a simple band ring. In this class we introduce new tools for setting stones in a silver bezel.

We will design and solder together a combination of silver wire and bezel(s) to create settings for turquoise cabochons. Other colors of Cabochons will also be available if turquoise isn't your thing.

This class has more soldering involved than our other jewelry classes and is a great opportunity to practice this essential skill.

All materials are included.
Ages: 15-115
Price $110

IMPORTANT NOTE: We are taking a hiatus from our in-person Hack Nights as we deal with the implications of COVID-19. We encourage teams to continue project work and to meet virtually from 6:00-8:00pm on Mondays. Our ability to provide pizza and snacks will be compromised, however :).

Individual teams will have access to video breakouts via Zoom. You can use Slack for breakout rooms if you like.

We are also exploring possible projects we could take on to help address this public health emergency. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions or are interested in working on immediate public health-related projects.

Thanks,
Aaron, Paul, and the rest of the Core Team
