Join fine local jewelry maker, Jolynn Santiago, and learn how to make a beautiful piece of jewelry to wear of gift. Riveting is a process where two or more pieces of metal are connected without heat. There are several types of rivets. This class focuses on the basic rivet; a metal pin with a shank and two nail heads that holds two or more pieces of metal together. Once the basic rivet is secured with a hammer, the parts are permanently immobilized. In this class, students will create a sterling silver pendant. In addition to riveting, students will learn how to saw using a jeweler’s saw, file, sand, anneal (soften metal), apply texture and patina. On the last day of class, we will discuss the students’ finished projects as a group. We’ll also discuss creating a setup for those who wish to continue practicing their riveting skills at home. Students will leave this class with handmade jewelry, a better understanding of basic riveting, the resources needed to order the proper materials and the knowledge to create a small riveting set-up of their own.All materials, and tools for use during class are included in the fee. All levels are welcome!(Photos are examples of designs using the riveting process)
