About
Designed for students who have taken Introduction to the Jeweler's Torch and Introduction to Jewelry: Skills classes. The skills learned in this class, with practice, will help you feel more confident and ready for project classes.
Each student gets to take home their soldering sample exercises and handouts for future practice and revision.
You will learn through instructor demonstration and guided, hands-on practice exercises. And you'll get the opportunity to work with the jewelry industry standard Smith® Little Torch and a propane/oxygen torch.
