There are also 2 portable drawing benches and an assortment of drawplates. There will be a small materials fee for metals used. Among the many topics covered in the one-day workshop: Alloying your own metals for color, karat, and workability. Setting up ingot molds for correct sized finished stock. Safely pouring sheet and wire ingots. Making square stock, and forming into half-round, round, and "true square" wire. Annealing strategies. Planning for specific dimensions in finished stock. Tapering wire for use with drawplates and drawing machines. Narrowing and widening flat stock. Making bezel stock in specific thickness and width. Roller printing sheet stock with various materials What to look for when purchasing your own rolling mill. Jay is a master of the rolling mill, and has been teaching it's use to his students for over 20 years. In his new studio in San Diego, which is devoted to precious metal fabrication, he is now offering specialized workshops in jewelry fabrication techniques. Other experts on metalsmithing techniques will be brought in to teach additional workshops in the future. For more information go to Jay's website at: www.whaleystudios.com _ |
