The jeweler's saw is the most simple, functional, and versatile tool on the goldsmith's bench!
All the more reason to cultivate a winning relationship with your favorite saw frame.
Sawing and piercing are more than just a way to cut metal. Skilled use of the saw opens up endless opportunities for creativity and refinement in jewelry making to get the most out of your metal.
This class provides expert instruction in sawing and piercing techniques under the direction of a master goldsmith. Michael’s expert insight and guidance enables you to quickly develop your ability with skill and confidence.
Undertake a series of practical exercises; sawing lines, shapes, cutouts, patterns, decorative borders, frames, and repetitive elements. As you refine their skill and increase confidence move forward to more complex applications. Instruction Includes methods to transfer images from paper and proper use of tools to layout precise patterns and designs directly on metal.
This intensive workshop is suitable for all levels; no prior metalsmithing experience is required.
