Mesa Arts Center: Fusing and Reticulating Rings and Earrings

Have you ever wondered how to achieve that bumpy, rippled, or rugged texture on metal? In this class, students will learn the process (and the differences) between basic fusing and reticulation. We will melt the surface of the metal using a controlled burn method to liquefy and shape the metal into earthy organic yet elegant ring band and earrings. “Perfectly Imperfect” is the goal with often surprising and glorious results! This is a fast-paced intermediate-level workshop, students must have jewelry torch soldering and fabrication experience. The supply list will be sent two weeks prior to the start of class. Workshops are ineligible for refunds once purchased. Ages 16+ Nov. 15, 2024 Friday 9:00 AM-4:00 PM
