SUMMARY:Finishing Silver & Copper Jewelry $50
DESCRIPTION:Advanced Beginner – suitable for anyone who has taken a wire or basic metal smithing class. \n\n\n\nYou’ve now made several pieces of jewelry with silver or copper wire or sheet metal. It might be beginning to darken or have a few scratches. This class will take you to the next step to professionally finish your pieces and protect from tarnish. We will be making a simple pair of earrings to practice our techniques. Topics covered are removing tool marks\, use of liver of sulfur patina to bring out textures\, and final polishing using flex shaft polishing tools. We will finish by using Protecta-Clear to seal and resist tarnish. Feel free to bring items you made in previous classes to refine and finish. \n\n\n\nKit Fee: The kit for the class will be added to your ticket on the day of class. \n\n\n\nNote: All materials and tools for classes must be purchased at Beadoholique Bead Shop. This allows us to continue providing you with quality classes. \n\n\n\nMaterials to purchase day of class:Kit includes:-Copper blanks (available at bead shop in several shapes)-Beads of your choice – must be able to be dipped inliver of sulfur-Ear wires (or 20-21g wire if you choose to make them)-Copper round wire 22gBring these tools to class (or purchase):1.2mm metal hole punchSandpaper assortmentPro polish padsMetal filesFlush cutters6-step looping pliersNylon jaw pliersChain nose pliersPerfect loopers or Round nose pliersFlat nose pliersChasing hammerNylon or rawhide hammerTexturing hammers (optional)Steel bench block and sandbagFlex shaft polishing tools and mandrels:  -3M radial discs (blue\, peach\, green)  -Green pumice discProtecta clear (provided)Cheap artist paintbrushSharpieRulerMagnifiers/readers are highly recommended for a successful class experience (even if you wear contacts or glasses)!
