Torch-Fired Tuesdays: Fusing Argentium - July 23

In the last of our Torch-fired Tuesday series, you will learn the method of fusing argentium wire together to create hoop earrings or a pendant.  The wonderful thing about argentium is that it can be fused together without the use of solder! This gives the hoops a clean join without the need of any solder cleanup. At the end of class, you will have completed a pair of double hoop earrings or a triple hoop pendant. We will cover: Argentium overview and how it differed from sterling silver Metal gauges How to measure and pre wire for fusing Fusing of argentium Torch use Texturing wire Clean-up of metal Details: 2 contact hours, ages 14+ Tuesday, July 23: daytime session is 10:00-12:00 or evening session is 6:30-8:30 p.m.  Silver Peak Studio Classroom located at 100.5 E.
