Mastering the Jewelers Saw- Sawing and Piercing Workshop- Sept 25 from 1-5pm
Sawing & piercing sheet metal is one of the most useful skills to have in your metalsmithing arsenal. Once you've mastered the technique there you can make almost any flat shape or design to incorporate into your work. The focus of this workshop is on mastering the jewelers saw. We will cover proper posture, seat height, proper sawing techniques and how to adapt a drawing for a sawing or piercing project. Students will have the option to create a double layered pendant which we will rivet together or begin a more complicated piece to take home and finish.
