| Fabricated Designer Beads with Don Roberts
Techniques for creating a fabulous focal point By combining several basic metalworking skills, you can create a dynamic focal point to your designs -- start by texturing, cutting and forming an assortment of metal, and then make the connection to create the bead using hot & cold techniques -- rivets, tabs, soldering and much more! A great opportunity to explore the potential of an exciting alternative to other focal design techniques -- you'll never say "just" a bead again! Tools & Materials Fee - $25 (or you may bring your own) Basic bench tools: saw, files, hammers, etc. Any sheet metall - 19, 20 or 22 ga. (Copper, brass, aluminum, new gold, silver, nickle,etc) Textured metals, too -- or we'll make them in class Any metal punches you may have Solder Disc cutter if you have one Circle Templete Optivisor or similar magnifier Sketch book |
