With the price of precious metals so high, jewelry artists are looking in all directions for other materials. Although steel has been used with gold in jewelry since antiquity, it is still a rare, yet dramatic combination in contemporary jewelry. This class shows you how to combine the gold and steel to create striking jewelry with this unique palette of materials. Learn about distinct types of steel and how each can best be used in jewelry. Watch step-by-step demonstrations on soldering steel using gold solder, how to solder both silver and gold to steel as well as fusing gold to steel. Students make a brooch of original design incorporating new techniques, with the instructor's guidance.
Prerequisite: Fabrication 1 or experience.
