3-day  Waters Edge Trio Anticlastic

 In this adaptive 3 day workshop, students will learn how to texture & fuse Argentium 940 silver.   Using fused dust and wire textures on Argentium silver sheet, students will create a fused cuff bracelet and ring then anticlastic form them using simple wood stakes and nylon crosspeen mallets. A melted edge technique will be taught along with other options for those that don’t have the Oxy/Fuel torch needed for melting back edges. Optional embellishments include fusing 18k- 22k gold dust on ring (student supplies gold), and hand sculpting to achieve the melted edge look without the Dual fuel/ oxygen torch. Anticlastic curly earrings in Argentium silver with optional Waters Edge texturing.

Some hand strength and endurance are necessary.
