Soldering 101 with Joy Raskin

Description

Join one of our favorite jewelers, Joy Raskin, at the Meredith Fine Craft Gallery on Saturday, October 12, 2019, from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm to learn the art of soldering. Have you ever wanted to learn soldering or improve your soldering skills? Not sure how to set up your own soldering torch and tank? This class will cover the basics of how to set up your work area including torch, tank, a place to solder, and a review of the safety issues. We will cover all the soldering basics from butt joints to stick soldering. We will also do hands on soldering and help you gain confidence in your skills. Great for those who have been taking jewelry classes but want to improve. We will be using acetylene/air torches but a propane torch and a butane torch will be on hand for students to try out. Tuition is $75 per student with an additional materials fee of $25 to be paid to the instructor at the time of the class (includes silver solder, propane, butane, copper, brass and silver supplies). Students are also encouraged to bring a bagged lunch and any copper, brass, silver, or bronze that they have on hand and would like to use for their soldering. Space is limited. Pre-registration is required. To register for this workshop, please call the League of NH Craftsmen – Fine Craft Gallery at (603) 279-7920 or stop by the gallery located at 279 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith, NH.
