Silver Soldering Workshop with Sue Woodworth (November 16th, 2022)
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2022 AT 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Ages: 18 and Up (Due to the 450-500+ heat of the soldering iron and molten metal)
$65.00 (all soldering materials included)
Learn the art of soldering with Art-O-Maddic artist, Sue Woodworth.
In this workshop, you will learn some of the basic techniques, tricks, and safety in working with 500-degree solder. The solder Sue uses is not your “plumber’s solder” but a solder with a kick of “Silver” in it. A hot soldering gun and we are off. We are going to melt solder to a lovely molten state and make it flat and shiny. Then make puddles of hot solder and stamp designs with red rubber stamps. All soldering materials will be supplied.
We will create dots and connect fun metal charms and maybe some rhinestones to it. These will be easy simple projects that will “WOW” your friends and you’ll want to make more. You will go home with some soldered earrings that have been jazzed up by you!
Please bring: An old cookie sheet tin to have as your work mat. Wear an old shirt, jeans and maybe bring an apron. Occasionally a small spat of solder wants to jump ship.
