Metalworking is generally regarded as a skill that takes years of
dedication, requires a large studio space, and costs a lot of
money. Fortunately, Simple Soldering proves that does not need to
be the case. This handy how-to guide is complete in its exploration
of the craft of creating soldered metal jewelry, including tools,
techniques, and 20 beautiful projects that beginners and
enthusiasts can make at home. Author and teacher Kate Richbourg
demystifies basic soldering for any home crafter, showing how to
create sophisticated, polished, and professional-looking jewelry
pieces through simple soldering techniques. First, she instructs
how to set up a jewelry workspace that fits the confines of your
budget and living space. Detailed step-by-step instructions walk
you through the basic tools and materials you need, plus how to use
them. A sample chapter gives a host of introductory exercises that
teach solid skills, allowing you to test these techniques on a
small scale. Finally, you'll discover 20 finished projects that
include earrings, pendants, rings, bracelets, and clasps that may
also include bead or wire embellishment. Kate also demonstrates how
to combine and layer techniques to gorgeous effect. She also
examines common mistakes, shows how to correct or adapt them, and
gives advice on when it's time to start over. Most of all, having
taught thousands of classes on soldering, Kate has a "you can do
it!" attitude that shines through to help even the most reluctant
jewelry maker fire up the torch with ease. Paired with an
instructional DVD, Kate's expert teaching skills will help projects
come alive, right in your own studio. With Simple Soldering, the
art of metal working one-of-a-kind jewelry is now at your
fingertips.
