Description

Anne Havel dynamic duo class

Solder and Enamel: The Dynamic Duo Workshop

Join us for an exciting virtual workshop that explores the unique combination of soldering and enameling! This class, led by experienced instructor Anne, will take place in the comfort of your own studio or home. While solder and enamel are not commonly paired, Anne will guide you through each step of creating a stunning pair of earrings using a torch—ideal for those who do not have access to a kiln. 

Workshop Highlights:

  • Hands-On Learning: Anne will demonstrate techniques during a 3-hour session, providing you with the confidence to create your own jewelry pieces with solder and enamel.

  • Practice Time: After the demonstration, you will have the opportunity to practice these techniques independently. If you lack a home studio, our studio is available for practice at $15 per hour.

  • Community Support: A dedicated Facebook group will be created for participants to ask questions and share progress between sessions.

Schedule:

  • Each day features a 3-hour workshop focused solely on demonstrations.

  • A Zoom link will be provided upon registration.

Materials:

  • A detailed materials and supply list will be emailed to you shortly before the class date.
