  Jewelry orientation

  

  Come learn about the jewelry bench! We have tools to support fabrication workflows as well as casting (red sand and investment casting). The instructor's subject area is silversmithing, but all interest areas are welcomed as we seek to expand our jewelry-making offerings.

  In this orientation, you will learn each tool's role in the jewelry-making process, from cutting and forming to soldering and polishing. This department is distinct from the Lapidary department, but the skills go hand-in-hand!

  General Know-How

  • Safety guidance, risks and risk mitigation
  • Shop rules and expectations
  • The mounted tools (bench pin, flex shaft, drill press, bench buffer, scroll saw)
  • The furnaces & kilns

  Fabrication

  Measuring and Marking

  • Calipers, rulers, dividers, scribe, center punch, stencils

  Forming

  • Rolling mill, steel/rubber blocks, hammers & mallets, mandrels, swage blocks, wire wrapping

  Cutting and Reducing

  • Files, sandpaper, jeweler's saw (and how to replace its blades), shears, hand cutters, rotary tool bits

  Joining

  • Solder and when to use each type, solder picks, torch, flux, fume extraction, pickle

  Polishing

  • Rotary tool options for detail polishing
  • Bench buffer for mass polishing

  Various Jigs and Miscellaneous

  • Miter jig, wax ring blank cutting
  • Scrap metal rules

  Casting

  • Wax carving and mold creation
  • Red sand / delft clay casting
  • Investment casting — This will be a general overview of the tools. The process is VERY involved; keep an eye on WA for a full class in the future!

  Conclusion

  We will end by discussing what's next for the jewelry department, how to get involved, and where to find resources for learning more.

  Happy making!
