Marriage of Metals

Class Description

Taught by Jinbi Park

8 week course (meets once a week for 3 hours)

In this course, students will learn the process of “marriage of metals” to create beautiful images and patterns. This technique involves combining different contrasting metals through solder inlay and puzzle inlay. When done correctly, this technique will give metal the appearance of being a single piece composed of two or more different types of metals. Students will also learn how to stamp, emboss, and pierce the metal to create different textures and patterns. Over the course of the class, students will make a piece of jewelry (such as a brooch or pendant) which combines at least two different metals (silver, copper, or brass). 

This is an intermediate course. Students should know how to saw, file, and solder to take this course. 

Class size 4 – 12 students.

Supply kits will be available for purchase online and will be distributed at the first class.

All students receive a 50% discount on hourly bench rentals throughout the duration of their course.
